"too early to tell"

I really don't think so. We had virtually a full quarter shipping on the iMac and Mac Mini. All the initial demand that was there, was met. There was no order backlog reported at quarter's end, and channel inventory was at normal levels.

But I guess if you want another quarter before you accept it, so be it. I guess it'll be another 7 weeks or so before we have that.

Until Apple overhauls the Mac Mini and gets a mid-market ($1,200-$1,600) tower to market, the MacBook is going to have to carry a big load. Fingers crossed that they have adequate production, that demand turns out to be as robust as you think, and that there are no product defects that dampen the flow of sales.
