This is just the beginning of sales thru internet. The sales will
pick up very quickly, especially in this consumer quarter. I predict
the sales thru internet will reach to several hundred million dollars
by the end of '97. Gee, it seems Jobs has qucikly resolved backlog
and inventory problem which has been a nightmare for several years.

I believe when Jobs got mad by the insults from the competitor, the
force from within is so powerful which would significantly help
Apple think differently and hence generate another high momentum of
prosperosity. We will clearly see the stock movement this time, which
will be more positive, healthy and opposite (down and then up)
compared to the one (up and then down) in last August after MacWorld
at Boston.

>>APPLE SAYS ON-LINE STORE SELLS $500,000 IN ORDERS IN FIRST 12
HRS.<<

Hmm.. can that be considered good?

Well, the line I was always hearing was that the Dell Website was doing a million dollars a day. I don't have any links showing that, but that was the standard number always posted in UseNet. Apple's store, in its first half day, does half the number usually attributed to Dell in a day. That's very respectable.
