Most of the time, it was in single digits. It was, but they're gaining share now every year and they're back at 10% and that is 10% of a big-assed market. The AAPL brand is coming on pretty strong right now. I think they have to get their pricing straightened out, but kids today are buying the hell out of Macbooks. Hey, I don't like them and hate it when I have to use them. But AAPL's been doing pretty well, particularly in the notebook portion of the market. And their advertising has been killer for the last couple of years. They are, IMO, making a mistake by not competing in the mini-notebook market, because these things at $325 with SSD and long battery life are everywhere. I wouldn't be without mine for a minute.
