Jim, Thanks for the info from Gavin. He is considering about supply, while I am not much worried. Apple's US manufacturing center (Sacramento) probably could not deliver that much demand, but Singapore's center actually is a major place to produce enough iMac's. They have opened 5-6 production lines, while only 2-3 lines in US center, that interprets that Apple could generate about double in Singapore as opposed to US center. If US center could generate 200k (from July 22nd to September 26th), then Apple at least could generate around 600k of iMac's. Maybe I am a little optimistic about the figure, but, it seems to be reasonable. Jobs has promised to do his best to meet the demand, which I think he means to handle any supply issues. Some iMac may need to be shipped from Singapore to US like they are to Japan. I trust the production rate in Singapore and believe they will meet the demand worldwide. Phil PS. I will talk with Gavin later.
