"Apple booked $500,000 worth of business in 12 hours on the Net with more than 2 million hits." Given Jobs' and NeXT's history, I would be very skeptical of the $500,000 figure. Also, bear in mind that the store.apple.com home page generates over 30 "hits" each time you go to the page! View the HTML source and you'll see. Assume users went to the home page and maybe two or three more pages... that's easily 200 "hits" per person. Hmm, divide 2 million by 200 and suddenly Apple's numbers aren't that impressive. I'm sure DELL is laughing all the way to the bank.
