>>> "IDC believes that in Quarter 3 they will have the greatest share gain of anybody--including Dell--in terms of percentages," said Roger Kay, another IDC analyst. "They could double their shipments," because of iMac demand. <<< Perhaps the channel stuffing tactic is designed to boost headlines that in turn boosts confidence that in turn boosts demand that in turn boosts greater headlines. Whew! Could this be the tornadic theory of market share grabbing? If this vortex is to continue through the end of the year, then there has to be new energy put into the system soon. Will it be a product release, or a peek at 'Apple 1999' designed to provoke conversations across the board rooms and bulletin boards of the free world? HerbVic

Jim, The market share increase and revenue growth are what analysts' hope from Apple. Now, it seems there is little doubt about that, but, in recent data from Yahoo's AAPL financial web shown as follows, several analysts who rated AAPL as "hold" disappeared or withdrew from rating. biz.yahoo.com The average has been improved from 2.55 to 2.22 due to probably missing scores from those withdrawing. Hmmm..., those withdrawn analysts are speculators rather than investors. I dobut they will come back to provide AAPL with another ratings. Phil
