Marc, Just a little more anecdotal sales info. In the past 2 months, our very small consulting firm (clients w/5-30 employees) has installed and/or set up 40-50 new G3s and 5 or 6 G3 servers. In my past three years with this company, I've never seen clients buying like this. Granted the economy in San Diego for PR firms, ad agencies and print shops is really picking up, but this has been great. I credit the simplification of the product line for a lot of this. When I used tell a client, "user so-and-so needs a new machine," the initial response was a glazed-over look as they anticipated picking one of 30-40 models Apple was offering (or had just discontinued). Now I tell them, "so-and-so needs a G3," and we've worked out which Good, Better, Best option suits their needs in a couple of minutes. They order the machine and I set it up the next day. They love this! Dirk
