Not totally wrong , probably just way late in publishing Similar story appeared in yesterday's Sacto Bee but today the Bee published a super hyped , I love you AAPL story : " Today, Apple has churned out three straight profitable quarters, employees are energized, stock is trading at nearly three times its 1997 low of $12.75 and its iMac computer, manufactured in Elk Grove and due out Saturday, may be the most hotly anticipated high-tech product since Windows 95. No one is predicting that Apple will ever regain the dominance it enjoyed in the mid-'80s when the company's name was synonymous with home computers. But Apple is clearly off the critical list. What sparked the dramatic turnaround? Much of the credit, industry observers say, must go to Steve Jobs,... sacbee.com What a difference a day makes in reporting . Either the Bee owns a lot of radio stations in need of AAPL advertising or some of the Elk Grove folks paid them a "correcting" visit . Roll the dice ! Jim K.

From MacNN: Our sources report that 30,000 iMacs are due by Saturday and a total of 100,000 units by the end of the month. In an odd way, my math seems to be partially supported by the above statement. If Apple is making 20,000 a week, take out 40,000 from MacNN's total of 100,000 by the end of the month, and you are left with the 60,000 available at launch that I calculated from the Macintouch comments. 60,000 is a very good number and maybe what we'd have expected without any "news" in the past ten days but just based on the Sacto plant going overtime and the fact that Apple had over 10,000 G3s ready for the Nov. 10 launch and very few shortages after that.
