Friday May 8 6:39 PM EDT Apple online computer store buzzes with sales CUPERTINO, Calif. (Reuters) - Apple Computer Inc. said Friday that its online Apple Store (www.apple.com/store) received a record $1.9 million in orders in a single 24 hour period, driven by sales of its new PowerBook G3 notebooks. Apple also said its just-launched Apple store for the education market (www.apple.com/education/store) received over $1 million in orders during its first 24 hours. "We are delighted that The Apple Store continues to set new sales records," said Steve Jobs, Apple's interim chief executive, in a statement. "The growing popularity of Apple.com and The Apple Store is amazing - our websites now receive 10 million hits per day." Apple just launched its new PowerBook notebook computers designed around its G3 processor on Wednesday, along with a sleek all-in-one Macintosh design called the iMac, for $1,299. The iMac will not be available until August. The PowerBooks, which start at $2,299, are available now. (Reuters/Wired)

By the way I live in Brazil, and I can tell this new iMac is really different for what we are accustomed here. Ari
