Make more of the colors in demand, etc. I don't think the five-palette dictum is still in force. Dealers can order what they want. I've also heard reports that all the iMacs LG is making are the blue/purple.

>Also, the continued availability of Rev. B's seems to be taken by analysts as a sign of slow imac sales -- could you comment on whether or not this can be considered a valid indicator of sales?<

Don't know. Depends a lot on the vendor and how they're being marketed.

From my (Tekserve's) perspective, the average iMac shopper is less cost sensitive than *color* sensitive. CostCo purchasers are likely the opposite.

Did quotes on four serious systems yesterday. (Pretty exhausting, btw.) While most of the weekday business is service related, Saturdays are becoming "CompUSA" days.
