Al.. here is one of your famous quote regarding this quarter. Feeling stupid yet? "I'll go out on a limb and say that we might see yet again another quarter of flat revenues..." You have a record of flip-flopping on your positions on various issues and usually end up being wrong at the end anyway. Eric

A month ago I wrote: I'd say there is no way AIO sales will remain constant. The iMac will bite into the AIO big time. A couple of bulls jumped on me big time for this statement... Today macosrumors reports that seemingly Apple is dropping the AIO and replacing it with an iMac for education... FWIW, I think this is a good thing. It will cut down on production tie-ups: one base model now. Secondly, I believe most people in the education market LOVE the iMac and it is in apple's best interest to capitalize on this by configuring it to AIO performance. -Travis

<<Today macosrumors reports that seemingly Apple is dropping the AIO and replacing it with an iMac for education...>> You mean the same MacOSRumors that has been lauded continuously on SI for its thoroughness and accuracy? Could be true, but I find it funny that suddenly they are being used as "evidence." Andrew

Alomex, that's a stupid argument and a smoke screen. I don't believe you are that dumb. All-in-one has been on the market since the beginning of this quarter. Before iMac was available, All-in-one has been sold about one and an half months. The volume has been good enough to scare you away in the current quarter. Even in the future if iMac is to replace All-in-one model, I think it's a right policy due to their similarity and iMac's popularity. Eric's estimate in All-in-one sales volume is very reasonable and here you're picking on this. Well, it doesn't make sense at this point. Say something meaningful. If you have guts, throw out your current quarter's estimates. I'll find out how close you are. Phil
