<strong>Think how much better sales would be if people could actually go to the store right now and actually GET ONE.</strong><hr></blockquote>

I think it's just the display one, tho
In Apple's best days, about one million were sold per quarter. Wasnt Apple selling 600,000/quarter in 2000?
Apple's marketshare is around 3%. That's in line with computer sales of 130-140 million units a year.
Apple peaked with the original iMac at 800,000 units sold in the first 5 months. That accounts for introductory popularity and a strong fall quarter.

They can do so much to it with this design and get the people on the edge of buying to buy.
1Ghz G4 in the summer/fall?
Cheaper high end?
17 inch display for more $?
Geforce 4MX?
bigger drives and ram
more updates to the iapp suite and possible hardware to go along with them
Thanks for a good thread!

In fact everyone I know says the same thing:
"Nice case, shame about the sh*t inside it"
My mistake.
2 iMacs preordered (believe high end on both)
1 14 inch iBook
1 1499 12.1 inch iBook
1 iPod
and a bunch of software
not too bad. imac was attracting a lot of attention especially from PC users. PowerMacs nothing except for the DP 1Ghz but only because it was attached to a Cinema display
