I realize it's been only about a month or two since the new iBook was announced. But what would be a good guess as to how many have been sold or perhaps how many Apple had planned to sell in a quarter.

And what would be a good number in terms of laptops sold in a quarter (comparatively to say the Ti or previous new laptop releases)

Well, Apple sold about 115,000 TiBooks in its first 4 months, and the iBook I would alrady guess has gotten 30,000-40,000 orders.

I say that 30-40k number is a way low. If there were 23,000 alone to that school district, that is a large sale right there.

PLUS national and interational resellers
PLUS the new Apple Stores
PLUS Catalog and Internet Reseller

TOTAL a friggin bunch

also, look at this sales link from 2000 iBook, which was not even as cool as this: http://www.ibook-user.com/reports/ibooksales.html
