WWDC rumors summary ...

macosdaily.com

Would a MacOS for Intel run current programs? What would this announcement do for the stock price ?!

I'm really hoping for MacOS-Lite announcement including Casio, Sharp, etc.

Very exciting times ...

Linda, I should use the terms unit sales or box sales.
When I use the term sales I mean the dollar value.
In the trade we speak in terms of dollars.
I am not sure if the unit sales are up or down.
If they shifted to more expensive G3 stuff and the older stuff faded you could get lower unit sales,
lower $ sales and larger profits simultaneously. I have not seen a unit sales breakdown as of now.
Does it get released by Apple?
We are not in disagreement, is is terminology.

corrected you two or three times when you said that Apple's sales were down. It's distracting me that you keep saying that. Number of Apple sales were UP. REVENUES were down,

I'll side with Bill on this one. Sales are usually measured in dollars. And those are down.

Unit sales are up.
