If [G3s] are scarce, this means either demand is still there or production has gone down as production lines are converted to iMacs (has this happened?). According to c\|net the shortage is caused by the transition of production lines to the new September line-up of G3s: In early July, Apple stopped production on several other high-performance models, including the 300-MHz systems introduced in March. . In this light the shortage is bad news. The impact however, seems minor, I quote: "We think demand could slightly exceed supply. and Running out of systems during a product transition is not all that unusual within the PC industry. In May, many retailers selling Compaq's Presario systems ran out of inventory as the company ramped up production of new systems for June, temporarily knocking the PC giant out of the No. 1 spot in retail sales.
