Perception of Apple and its fortunes has been their biggest problem for several years now. With the media reporting the huge operating losses Apple was suffering, and the covers of many magazines and newspapers touting the same, confidence was lost in Apple as a company. That perception is now changing, and I think the brightest is still ahead for Apple. I work in the graphic arts and illustrator friends of mine have been contracted to create editorial images for magazines illustrating Apple's recovery. Perhaps more signs of a change in public perception? ml

<<I expect that with the intro of the iMac and the problems the Wintel market is currently facing with over supply, this trend will only continue.>> Roy, Please describe the model you are using that suggests an over supply of PCs will help Apple gain market share. It seems quite counter intuitive to me. Thanks. Jon Bird

The G3, AIO and soon the iMac are not simply stopping the defection to the Wintel platform, they're reversing it. The iMac maybe, the G3 and the AIO not even close Latest data indicates that Apple is once again gaining market share in both education and the overall computer market. Gaining market share because more old time users have decided to upgrade, not because they are dumping their windows to move to Mac. the problems the Wintel market is currently facing with over supply, Huh? Oversupply is good for Wintel users as it brings lower prices. The only problem I foresee for Apple is whether they can make iMacs fast enough to satisfy demand. I think we have yet to determine demand for the iMac. Early figures look very promising, but I think the coin is still in the air. Perception of Apple and its fortunes has been their biggest problem for several years now. This is mega-bogus. Everybody, including Sculley, Spindler, Amelio and Jobs say that Apple had BIG problems, and they really didn't start adressing until barely a year ago, after it posted a $700million loss. But I guess for an Apple bull a $700 million loss is just a "perception" problem.
