(I can only hear girlie-sockshifter-zara, tommie and edwin
howl.)

From the article;

"According to Apple's fiscal third calendar-quarter earnings
announcement, 3.472 million Macs shipped during calendar Q2.
Apple
also
shipped 3.27 million iPads. If iPad counts as a PC and the
numbers
are
combined, then Apple shipped 6.742 million personal computers
during
second quarter. That's high enough to raise Apple to No. 5 in
global
PC
shipments"

"Combined sales" put it at #5"? Yeah - it's a howl allright.
Really
taking over the world.

I remember when the trolls dismissed the iPod like this :)

Apple may be a player in the PC market someday. I doubt it but
stranger things have happened. You'll long since be dead though
before
it happens.

How is being a "player" in the PC market working out for Dell, HP, et.
al.?

I think Michael Dell is rich. HP just had great revenue numbers
boosting their stock price. Anymore questions?

Yep, Michael Dell is rich. He made the money in the past and is sitting
on it, or maybe he'll get terminally stupid and take Dell private. He's
the king of very low profits in the computer world....


Yes - I would like to have his "very low" +1.43 billion of profits in my
pocket.



....of course, followed by HP's dismal profit picture. I note that you
talked about HP's great 'revenue' numbers and avoided that pesky profits
issue.


+8.53 billion net income. You sound senile.
