Russ, You are right about non-G3 models, there are plenty left, for servers, such as 9650/350 and 9650/233 - which I believe not many left, not much discount, and their sales are pretty stable; for PowerBook, such as 1400 cs/166, G3, and 3400 series, which are in aggressive prices, and expect to be in excellent sales; for Power Macintosh, such as 5500, 6500, G3, 8600, and 9600, which are in deep discount and is believed the inventory will be reduced to the extreme. The discounted prices are at: zdnet.com Since Apple expects in Q2 to sell three times of G3s of Q1, hence, G3's earning margin will be used to compensate the non-G3 discounted products with lower margin. I think they can balance them out with good results. Like I said before, if Apple could sell 65% (accounts for 325,000 units) of Q1's 500,000 non-G3 units, then the outcomes seem pretty optimistic.
