Well folks, my estimates for revenues was $1450-$1550mill, with higher probability towards the lower side. Given the iMac success I think it is possible that Apple might post revenues as high as $1650mill. Apple has a lot more problems that what this board acknowledges. In fact, it was taking water at such a speed that three incredibly successful product releases after (G3, PowerBooks, MacOS8.0) it still posted falling revenues. However, the speed of the fall has tapered quite a bit lately and I'd say that with the information available today predicting higher revenues for next quarter is a no brainer. This was a much closer call than many here would acknowledge: a successful 200K unit introduction of the iMac would have resulted in flat revenues! Because of this I will keep the lower end of the revenue prediction at $1450 but the upper end will go to $1650. More importantly, I would say the zone of high probability is now around $1525-1575mill. This is not the tightest of estimates, but I cannot predict any better with two just weeks sales figures for the iMacs....
