Soup, the gain in marketshare from 4.9% to 5.9% was reported a couple days ago. What surprised me when I read that was that it was based on data available up to Oct of 97 (If I remember it correctly). The figure for current quarter must be even better than that. I'm still trying to find out where I read that to confirm the fact. Eric

soup: I seem to remember reading that the new on-line store had had $12 million in sales the first month (very approximately $500k/day), & they were projecting $150 million in sales through it for the first year. I've looked, but I can't find the source where I read this. Maybe someone else can give it to you. Chuck

Re: $150 million in online sales. A MacWeek report makes reference to the $150 million number. Addressing questions about the effect of Apple's online store on its traditional third-party retailers, Mandich said there is a complementary strategy behind the Internet service. The online store accrued sales of about $150 million, he said, but "that's probably going to be less than 10 percent of our overall sales. zdnet.com This is rather strange considering in Dec I had thought that the $12 mil/month figure might be only for actual orders placed through the internet rather than for the entire AppleStore (1-800 orders included). biz.yahoo.com When I emailed Katie Cotton to clarify the PR she said the the $12 million revenue was for the entire AppleStore. But now it appears that we've got a total sales of $150 million all of a sudden? Austin American-Statesmen also made reference to the $150 million figure a few days ago which we laughed at as a typo. Who do we believe? Eric
