I may as well just quote this one in its entirety:
Now that's making an entrance with style. Newly unleashed at Macworld Expo, the revamped iMac seized the honor of top-selling retail desktop computer in Japan, barely pausing to snarl "'scuse me" to the competitors shoved out of its path.
For the week of January 7 to 13, pre-orders for the iMac G4-800 racked up 6.00% of the retail market, according to Business Computer News, enough to beat the 4.93% of the #2 Fujitsu Deskpower FMVCE885L. Meanwhile, the iBook G3-600 with Combo Drive rose to #7 on the notebook list, with a 3.03% share.
Led by this pale-clad pair, Apple took a 12.0% share of the overall retail computer market for the week -- the company's first showing over the 10% mark in a long time, yet still trailing Fujitsu (13.9%), NEC (15.4%), and juggernaut Sony (31.0%).
Hey, not bad for a computer that's not really even supposed to be shipping yet...
