Jon- two points make a line, three points make a line and a bad data point. Just a little modeling joke, there. Given one piece of evidence, it's damn hard to extrapolate the future, but you can make some guesses. That's a lot better than having no data points. Has anyone figured what 500,000 iMacs will do to the "market share" number? I'm really ignorant about the hard numbers, but I guess it will cause a stir when some marketing group releases the result-- we ain't dead. I can't wait for some more "no floppy" posts. WebDrone

I don't mean to throw a monkey wrench into the cogs of your hype machine Phil, but to try and extrapolate iMac sales from 1 weeks worth of pre orders is absurd. Thanks for pitching in Jon, as I'm away on holidays. Where is Eric with his self-righteous tone when this type of bull hype is posted?
