<<would not only make it harder to track iMac popularity from month to month, it would also take away some of the aura of popularity that surrounds the iMac. >>

Maybe there might be some seasonality in marketing promos...

PC Data Report Feb 1999 - Strawberry iMac lead the pack as top selling computer

PC Data Report March 1999 - Kiwi iMac lead the pack as top selling computer

PC Data Report April and May 1999 - Grape iMac lead the pack as top selling computer

PC Data Report June, July and Aug 1999 - Kiwi iMac lead the pack as top selling computer

PC Data Report September 1999 - Blueberry iMac lead the pack as top selling computer

PC Data Report October 1999 - Tangerine iMac lead the pack as top selling computer

etc.

Andrew, I don't have time to look it up now but I believe that IDC said they would treat each color iMac as a separate model for sales figures. Check out a copy of the article that indicated iMac sales for 4th qtr 98. Rich

"will PC Data and other research organizations treat the new 5-flavored iMac as 5 separate models, especially since they each have their own SKU?"

PC Data will track the new iMacs as 5 separate models because they have different SKU. However I do expect them also to add up these figures and report on how the new iMacs stacks up against other competitors when considered as a single model.
