Because they don't say the study is actually measuring a decline in DESKTOP sales, and implies that Apple's sales are down overall. Apples sales are UP, and up quite a bit over the rest of the industry because their laptop lines are red hot right now. And if you haven't looked lately, the rest of the industry ISN'T surviving on 6% margins...Dell has had large numbers of layoffs, HP's profits are off, Sony's in the tank right now; hell the company that we used to get our systems from (MPC which bought Gateway's business and EDU lines) declared Chapter 11 last month. (which is the complete suxx0r because we now have a bunch of new servers we may not get the full warrantee out of. ) -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
