<<Sounds as if he hasn't followed AAPL too closely when he says, "Apple will begin selling it's products from it's web site in October." I couldn't find this in the article to see any context but I assume the writer is referring to iMacs which is indeed the case.>> Second paragraph from the bottom: "It will sell its products directly from its website starting in October, which makes its re-sellers grumble, but, hey, life is a contact sport." <<Another thing, I keep reading that Apple is only selling to it's "installed base" I don't know if you were referring to this article, but the writer was pretty careful in stating the existing Mac owners "may be" buying these new Macs.>> I wasn't very clear on this, I was referring to this and other articles and posts I've read on this thread. The assumption is that only existing Mac owners are buying, but I am yet to see anything that substantiates this statement.
