Guys, In the article "Sales Booming for New Apple Computer" in the New York Times today, Larry Fisher writes: "some analysts have estimated that the company (Apple) could sell more than one million of the new machine in its first year." Fine. However, Advertising Age reported today that: "... Apple's U.S. retail market share of 2% in June (98) was below the dismal 3% seen in July 1997, according to ZD Market Intelligence. The venerable Apple brand now ranks ninth in sales, behind a brand, CTX, many consumers have never heard of." Whoa! 2%?! Now, I'm sure I'd read an article which quoted PC Data as saying that Apple's market share more than doubled from 4.1% in Q1 -- to 9.4% in Q2. Since I don't have a subscription to PC Data's site, could anyone confirm or deny this report. Thanks.
