dobr; Thanks for the reference. If the imaging products were very profitable they would still be here. (Unless they were groomed for part of a sale to make money). 8% per quarter compounded....35% growth per year, of course it is not sustainable this season. In a year when PC sales will be less than 10% $$ based and 15% unit based. With the ASP falling, and Intel crying. Gates could care less. Bill

Apple sold 650,000 units this last quarter, an 8% increase from the same quarter a year ago, and about a 4% increase from the 625,000 (I think) they sold the previous quarter. What makes this a hopeful sign to me is that as far as I can remember, Apple has never sold more units in Q2 than in the previous Q1 (in which they usually sell a lot because of the holiday season). At least this has been true over the past few years. Bodes well for the rest of the year, as long as they can time their products right, and not glut any of their important markets with too many different choices. Looking at the future schedule of product releases (as we know it), it looks like they have things in good control. Paul Arthur
