Relentless marketing, boutique prices, and a meticulously managed supply chain are good strategies, apparently.

I am guessing most of this is in IPods, IPads and Phones more than computer.
But you got to give it to Steve Jobs, he knows what a large amount of people want.

AmigaOS has one of them, maybe they need to work on the other two...

If 4.x million sold is disappointing, sign me up.

I think only reason some folks say this is they were expected to sell 5 million but with such high demand, were unable to make enough to do so.

I really doubt they are disappointed in selling 4.x million of these in such a short time.

Fairplay.

Although I only used OS X for the first time the other day, I couldn't believe how laggy it was. I actually prefer XP.

Never ever thought i'd say that.

I had a similar reaction when I first tried an older Mac, but I just got myself a new Mac Mini 2.4GHz with 2 gigs of ram this month.

I have to say I love it for what I use it for. I have it Midi connected to my Yamaha Clavinova and an Akai keyboard. Finale runs fine on it. Granted I just got it a couple weeks ago. It's small and quiet. I don't feel like I have a beast beside my piano anymore.

I've been playing World of Warcraft on it and I was pleasantly surprised.

I've been an XP fan for years but I find myself using the Mac more now.

Well. I'm a bit off topic. Yes, over 4bn and their shares slide...

How the shares slid is beyond me. Of course I am not money guru. They just had over 20billion quarter. Highest they have EVER had. Because instead of 5 million iPads they sold like 4.3m or something, and it slides. Every single item they are selling is selling rather well and their quarter goes to prove it.

Oh well, I don't own any of their shares so no biggeee. I wish I had some!

The shares slid because that level of revenue is unsustainable, and it's all downhill from here.

Oh my, you had better watch what you say on this board, in front of the fanatical Amiga armada -- OK, not quite an armada. :-)

OK, time for an AAPL stock short-sale? (I wouldn't risk it.)

Actually since xp came out and now with 7 MS has a very decent os. MS slaggers are becoming more of a joke now. Especially ones that mispell MS like M$ or winblows or any of that childishness.

the "armada" is growing up and coming to terms with reality.
