When you control only about 4-4.5% of the market....a 13% increase in sales
doesn't really show up as anything significant.

I would suspect the increase is drive by I-Pad sales....not Mac. For all we
know the sale of Macintosh computers has dropped off.


Actually, no. We know that the Mac computers sales have increased and
outgrown the rest of the personal computer market for something like 22
straight quarters.


Still being in a miserable condition after achieving your claims is not
a real achievement ... others opinions may vary ... mac sucks for
industrial/scientific/production uses ... and playing home computer
games ... end of story.


So a computer specifically designed for *PEOPLE* to use allegedly
"sucks" at industrial and production uses, huh? Wow. Quite the
revelation.

Fact: scientists are a big market for Macs.

As for the rest, where people have a reasonable income, Macs sell more
than 10% of all the computers out there.

Just look around here, the mac does fine for newsgroups ...


Does fine in North America, Europe, Australia, etc. too!
