The whole thread started by our surprise of the small impact those moves had on the windows base. when you missinterpret which market apple is in and then mistake when to look at monthly or quarter market share figures and interpret them as overall market share figures or look in a month or a quarter that had no new introductions.., i can see how you would make this mistake....especially when you pick a quarter that apple didn't introduce anything new..... apple's market share in the consumer market (the market they are in) surged up more than 5.4% when they introduced new products.... just like they did when the imac or the ibook or any new product does..... and only after they introduce new products.... last quarter they didn't introduce new products ........ Alomex is misinterpreting monthly market share numbers or quarterly numbers for apple's overall market share..... this article again uses total sales including business sales, but shows this surge for apple, if it were using consumer figures, like PC data splits out by using retail numbers, the 5.4% surge up in market share would have been even more....... dell which also sells to the business market was the only one that did better....... this article has an error in it... like the year.... it was data for firstquarter 2002... not 2001....... since the flatpanel imac was not introduced in 1Q 2001..... news.com.com this one gets closer to consumer market, because it only measures retail..... but was done during a month that apple didn't introduce anything new.... so just shows it's normal monthly market share in a market that concerns apple... quote.bloomberg.com

Yup! Remember, I do. That aside was tongue-in-cheek, as you well know. Comfort? Who's got any these days? Waccos are walking the streets with big dreams of blowing themselves and others up. The Star Wars billion dollar high tech welfare project is trying to protect us from India and Pakistan. The soldiers have taken the killing field only to find the enemy has been dispersed like water into the sea. With the growth in the internet came free access to the stock market. I guess it was predictable that corporate boondoggle would become exposed. Who knew that every chicken was stealing from its own nest? George is loosing it on this one. There getting out of hand in Washington! This is going to be the biggest political issue to set the stage of History since Teddy went to Cuba! Anti-trust. That's what its all about. The trust busters have failed and the emperor has no cloths. Public trust is in the toilet. Comfort? Can't find it anywhere. (grin) HerbVic
