I agree with your point, Don. Jobs keeps trotting out this figure and it doesn't really tell you anything. We used to have this debate with Jonkai, if I remember correctly.
But then there's the following statement from your WSJ article : "Apple's core Mac business, meanwhile, showed brisk growth, with the number of Macs sold increasing 43% to 1.07 million units from 749,000 units a year ago. The value of Mac sales rose to $1.49 billion from $1.16 billion a year earlier. That's especially strong unit growth when compared with about 10% growth in the overall PC business, according to Rob Cihra, an analyst at Fulcrum Global Partners."
It mystifies me how that latter statement could be anything but blow out positive. I mean, not every year ago quarter was a disaster.
