...detractors would have to agree that it's a striking departure for the home-computer market--and quite possibly a landmark in the quest Jobs began when he founded Apple two decades ago. "I remember when he pulled the white sheet off the first Mac in '84," says Tim Bajarin, a longtime Apple watcher. "Even then, he was going to create the 'computer for Everyman...

Apple expected growth for its computers to peak at 23% a year, a few points higher than the industry average for computers; demand growth, however, turned out to be a stunning 35%, says Tim Bajarin, a Silicon Valley computer marketing consultant. Says he: "Demand for Macintoshes is running higher than it's ever been." The company now has $1 billion worth of unfilled orders. And Wall Street doesn't like that. Nor do customers...
