The WebMate is crucial to keep the big growth coming. However, I think that the stats showing that a big pct. of iMac sales are going to new Mac users will lead to better than industry growth anyway. But I don't necessarily think that the G3 Pro line will grow faster than the industry as a whole. Unless Apple aggressively pushes the Y2K issue and the lower cost of maintenance. Marc

<<Do you think Apple would grow faster than the rest of the industry in that case?>> Yes. With Apple's unique industrial design and corporate image, as well as superior OS, it has sufficient appeal to continue to win over both first-time users and Windows users. When you're still sitting well under 10% market share, you don't really need the market as a whole to grow. You just need to offer a product more attractive (ah, the double-meaning) than those of your competitors. It's a long, profitable road between here and the 10,15,20 (whatever) % you might place as Apple's long-term maximum market share. Andrew
