To: info-mac@SUMEX-AIM.ARPA Cc: Furuta@LOCAL TV news this evening reports that Apple has sold 70,000 MacIntoshes since their introduction. The report is that this makes it the fastest selling Personal Computer in history. Does anyone have any details on this---how much of this is Consortium business, how long are waits these days for Consortium and private business deliveries, at what kind of rate is Apple now manufacturing them, etc. Thanks for any information. --Rick -------

If that is average among the 24 Consortium schools, which I doubt, that makes 12,000 sales at $1000. I'd be more inclined to put the figure at 5,000-6,000, but I don't know.

In-Reply-To: <8405111821.AA27448@NYU.ARPA> ; Message of 11-MAY-1984 14:30 from Richard Furuta <Furuta@WASHINGTON.ARPA> The first place I saw the 70,000 sales figure was current Fortune. I don't know what it means exactly, but 47th Street Photo in NYC now has Macs IN STOCK at $2300 and they have MILLIONS of Apple modems also, which I have seen nowhere else in NYC as yet. -r -------
