In, Sorry if I misunderstood you and thought you were heated. :-) Let's make nice. Here's some news about numbers: Headline: Apple Books $500,000 In Orders In First Day On Internet ====================================================================== CUPERTINO, Calif. -(Dow Jones)- Apple Computer Inc. said Tuesday that its on-line Apple Store received more than 4.4 million visits, or "hits," and booked more than $500,000 of orders during its first 12 hours of operation. Apple Computer (AAPL) said the Apple Store is part of its distribution strategy of combining direct sales over the Internet alongside its resellers. On Monday, Apple announced a move to begin to sell computers directly over the World Wide Web. The new Macintosh models include Apple's first to use a powerful new chip, called the PowerPC 750. The new desktop systems are aimed at professionals in publishing and other areas. Besides speed, the new chip consumes less power than comparable chips from market leader Intel Corp., industry executives say. Apple has made a series of announcements in recent weeks aimed at boosting awareness and demand for its Macintosh products. Apple last week said it struck a deal with retailing giant CompUSA Inc. to launch a "store within a store" for selling Apple products. Copyright (c) 1997 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
