Lets hope this "source" is REALLY REALLY wrong! Or we are in deep doo doo! macnn.com Our sources report that 30,000 iMacs are due by Saturday and a total of 100,000 units by the end of the month. Given the announced 150,000 backorders, Apple may not be able to keep up with demand for at least the next few months. Its Sacramento plant has been producing iMacs on all of its production lines except for a single BTO working on the new G3 servers (not announced, but apparently available soon). Early production problems and a "minor" problem with the ROMs in early builds that required Apple to flash older ROMs, have been addressed, according to our sources. One reader writes: "CompUSA's mail-order division will be receiving a scant 400 of them [iMacs] next week, with another 600 coming in before the month is out (at an unspecified date). However, the number of preorders far exceeds both figures so any news orders shouldn't be expected until September. The sales rep added that this is by far the "hottest computer we've had in the past few years, second only in product orders to Windows 95."
