I think you see the added revenues factored in already. I think everyone who follows Apple knew there was a lot of pent up demand for faster computers and Quark so when they were announced in May/June you see Apple go up from what 12 up to 25 then people started taking profits. The added revenue from the G5s was no secret. Only the date. The question is will the demand continue after the pent up demand is satisfied? Looks like not that many people want to bet Apple can keep it going. Not many so far think that Apple can sustain the iPod or iTunes thing as competion keeps nipping at Apple's heels. At least that's what I think.
