Yep, my revenue estimate was in Q3 was too high. Yours was even higher than mine. So your point was....? Simple, Apple bulls here squeal every time I make a bearish prediction even though quite a few of them turned out to be accurate (or if anything they err on the optimistic side).

Cool I started a spamfest. Actually, I think you meant to say it's a flame war. Spam is always an attempt to "sell" something, like multi-level schemes, cable descramblers, cheap dental plans, and porno web sites with "Live, Hot Action YOU Can Control Through Your Browser!" A flame war is a contentious discussion through e-mail or online posting forums where participants take sides on an issue, disparage each others' ideas, and often even degenerate into personal attacks, name-calling, and references to one's mother. Spam, by its nature, permeates all aspects of online communication, is impossible to avoid completely, and true to its name, is extremely distasteful. A flame war may flare up at any time, and can end as quickly as it started, but sometimes rages on for months at a time. By it's nature it is seen less often than spam, and is far more interesting and enjoyable to the participants and onlookers alike. We now return to our regularly scheduled programming...

Eric writes on MacEvolution: I know a number of web sites are already declaring that Apple's market share has jumped from 4% to 9.4% following that PC Data report on July 22, but there are a number of caveats one must consider. First of all, the survey only consisted of sales data from retail channels, which is why major vendor like Dell ($14 billion annual revenue) did not even show up on the top five. One must also add that units shipped edged up slightly last quarter so for this doubling to occur, sales of PCs must have been reduced by about 70%.... yeah, right... I expect the big increase in shipments to occur only after the iMac has been introduced. (G3s sales seem to be tappering off, PBs are selling quite well and they are high margin, but relatively low volume).
