Below is an excerpt from an article in Computer Retail Week. The pre-iMac
retail marketshare of Apple was 9.6%. Since then the iMac has proven to be
the fastest selling computer in history. It was the number 1 selling
computer in August with only 15 days of sales. I think the next
marketshare numbers we see are going to reveal a shocking increase in
Macintosh marketshare. That should keep the Mac-slashers on their toes. 

But seriously, I find it terrific that choice, quality and innovation in
the computer market is alive and well. Move over monopolists. The consumer
wins again.

DEVELOPERS FLOCKING TO MACINTOSH FOLD

Software developers are turning their eyes back to the Apple Macintosh 
platform, and liking what they see. Apple has committed $100 million to 
marketing its new iMac machine, and the company is providing more free 
developer tools and working with key partners to bring more titles to 
market. Apple's strategy to stabilize its operating system has also 
contributed to the renewed confidence that many software developers have 
in the platform. "We're definitely seeing more Mac titles," says one 
computer store manager. Sales of Mac-only titles rose 12% to $21.4 
million in the first half of this year, according to PC Data. (Computer
