Well, in Q1 1991, it was officially 8,000 machines. >How many >Mac IIci's did Apple sell, and how many Amiga 3000's did Commodore >sell? Well, Apple never (as far as I'm aware) releases ACTUAL units sold, but they did project selling 205,000 Mac IIci's this financial year in their annual report. I guess that makes 50,000 a quarter or so. [Note: the annual report also projects 735,000 Classics being sold, which seems about right given the current sales figures]. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Evan Torrie.
