I was thinking about getting an iMac thru my neighbor, a Mac consultant here. He offered me the use of his software collection which I guess is sizable. Unfortunately, he asked me to invest $5k in options which I promptly lost 40% of. I felt kind of bad so I told him he only lost a couple of hundred and covered him. Couldn't get him to invest this Am though. Definitely takes a strong stomach I suppose. Gotta watch that timing. I think he was looking forward to profits so he could buy a computer and car! He was a little disappointed so I guess I leave him alone for a bit. Rich

In his speech today, Jobs said they just sold their one millionth G3. I love it when he does that. Now we can really play: 1,000,000-535,000 G3's sold in prev. Q's = 465,000 G3's sold so far this Q. 465,000 / 67 days gone in this Q= 6,940 G3's a day. Since there are 25 days left in this Q, 25 * 6,940=173,500 So, we add 465,000 + 173,500 and get 638,500 638,500. A FAR cry from Eric's predicted 800,000 + (which I thought was right on the ball if not slightly conservative). Since an imac is a G3 I assume this number includes iMacs. I am terrified of this number. Also, I noticed Steve said the reason for powerbook shortage was because they forecasted wrong for demand! Hello?!?!?!? Eric-PLEASE analyze these numbers and tell me/us that I am missing something in that 638,500 number. -travis
