Here is something I found quite intriguing... Based on the information in a MacWEEK article zdnet.com that PowerBook revenue dropped from being 26% of total revenue in Q1 to 13% in Q2 we can calculate the revenue from PowerBooks. PowerBook revenue in Q1 = 1578 X 26% = $410.3 million PowerBook revenue in Q2 = 1405 X 13% = $182.7 million Now, what was the revenue excluding sales of PowerBook laptops? non-PowerBook revenue in Q1 = 1578 - 410.3 = $1168 million non-PowerBook revenue in Q2 = 1405 - 182.7 = $1222 million Isn't it interesting that if we exclude PowerBook sales there was actually a sequential growth in revenue of $54 million from Q1(Christmas) to Q2 (historically weakest)? Of course...this is assuming that the figures in that MacWeek article can be confirmed. Anderson went over the PB figures during the conference call but I didn't take very good notes. ;-) Eric
