AAPL sales don't require a "give away":

" Apple continues to sell relatively pricey computers while maintaining market share in retail and catalog sales, while allowing makers of Windows-based PCs to slug it out in a market marked by a price free fall.

For the month of June, Apple Computer maintained its No. 3 ranking in the retail and mail-order market with strong sales of the iMac, despite falling Windows-Intel PC prices and a crush of sales generated by offers of "free" PCs, according to a report from ... PC Data.

The average selling price of Apple's systems, including Power Macintosh systems, was $500 more than the average selling price of a Windows-based PC, according to PC Data.

The iMac was the most popular system for the month. It was priced $604 more than the average selling price of the most popular PC model, a system from Hewlett-Packard."
