Ian, more evidence that iMac sales are huge and that the cute little puppies aren't just going to the installed base: TORRANCE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 24, 1998--Creative Computers, Inc. ("Creative") (Nasdaq: MALL) today announced that its MacMall division, a major cataloger and Internet provider of Mac products, reported a record $4 million in orders of Apple Computer Inc.'s ("Apple")(Nasdaq: AAPL) iMac as the company continues to take orders into the second week of the product launch. The sales represent the Company's largest ever dollar volume for a computer at launch. Additionally, the Company reports that it has received so much interest in iMac from its PC customers that it will expand its exposure for iMac by advertising it in its PC Mall and ComputAbility catalogs. "We expected it to be big, but consumer interest in iMac is bigger than big," said Dan DeVries, executive vice president of Sales and Marketing of Creative, which owns and operates MacMall. "Our CEO, Frank Khulusi, and I are both so excited about iMac that we each bought one for our families." Thanks to Mambeg of the AOL MF board for first spotting this. I love the fact that it's going in the PC Mall catalog. Marc
