Apple's Big Weekend?

Motley Fool: "Interestingly, Fool.com discussion board polling provided a stark contrast to my in-store experience. As of this writing, only one of 96 respondents, a Mac user, reported buying a Mini this weekend. How could that be? For one, I generated a very small and totally unscientific survey. Polls of this sort, however, often prove useful. In fact, looking at the early returns, there's mixed news for Apple: 30 voters indicated they already have an iPod (good because Apple expects iPod owners to buy a Mini), but 52 Fools said they weren't interested in MP3 players. Clearly, it's too early to tell if the Mini's premiere was a flop. And we won't know for sure unless Apple publishes numbers. But between my in-store experience and the unscientific poll, it appears the hype may have been just that."

Huh. Apple selling products to pre-existing customers. Sounds familiar.
