In the article smh.com.au:80/computers/content/971202/news/news3.html it states: >>The PowerBook, the fastest notebook computer in the world, is 25 per cent quicker than its predecessor, the PowerBook 3400...<< I thought the G3 Powerbooks are almost 2X as fast as the 3400 in processor intensive tasks by most accounts.

Sales of $US1.4 million were made in the first two days and Apple is considering how it might expand the inventory, probably taking in Apple Design gear and third-party items such as software and books. While 2 days is not much data, $1.4 million is fairly impressive. What's more impressive is the rest of the quote! Anybody seen any stats on the Apple Store's success? Sam
