Yet even more outrageously positive stuff. The O'Grady Files: Year of the PowerBook By Jason D. O'Grady According to an informal study we conducted among several Macintosh retailers around the United States, Apple sold more PowerBooks in 1998 than in any previous year. Most attributed the high sales volume to the success of the original PowerBook G3 and subsequent "Wall Street" G3 Series, two models that finally convinced power-hungry Mac users that the PowerBook was a "real" Macintosh. (Or maybe it was because the bug-ridden PowerBook 5300 was nowhere in the lineup? Probably the former.).......................... ----------> macweek.zdnet.com I had been wondering where powerbook sales would fit in this qtr. Fitting quite nicely it would seem. I have seen iMacs "flying" off the shelves these past few months with my own eyes. On 4 out of 5 trips to either CompUsa or Microcenter I have seen iMacs on their way out as I walked in which always hit me as positively eerie. I have been also wondering whats going on with desktops and minitowers. It has been noted by someone on this board that Mac Mall keeps a running OnHand (OH) count for each item#/configuration that they carry. I just looked and they are apparantly out of MT's completely. The only desktop of any consequence that's available is the 266mhz tat is bundled with MS office. IMacs are plentiful. A price adjustment on those along with the much rumored Rev"C" showing up at the door should take care of that problem. I thought that the past introduction of the Rev "B" model was absolutely seamless And I believe that we are in the process of witnessing one of the smoothest major product refresh campaigns that apple has ever pulled off sliding very nicely into the face of what I think is a very powerful pent-up demand for the SAMS All in all I am very bullish for the company. I will be "investing" in a new machine myself. (My 6100/66 has been limping along without a fan for a couple three weeks now.) I will be getting the latest and (near) greatest I think and then I can hand off the iMac to the yout's around here. The stock is another matter. I will probaly find my self in the face of a run-up and sell into it. I have this awful feeling though that this time it is not the thing to do. Regardless I think that we are looking at a boffo quarter. The stock though.......we shall see! I will return now to the netherworld that we infrequent posters must haunt to mull over my............ options. Maybe thats what I need. Options. regards and happy new year ,pjkelly
