Phil, take a deep breath, turn on your brain and try again: Even in the future if iMac is to replace All-in-one model, I think it's a right policy due to their similarity and iMac popularity. So which way is it: a stupid argument or "a right policy"? Eric's estimate in All-in-one sales volume is very reasonable and here you're picking on this. Where did I mention Eric's estimate in all of this? If you have guts, throw out your current quarter's estimates. I have already, more than once, so you are going to have to fish it out yourself. And lastly, at no point did I say replacing the AIO with an iMac was bad (in fact I said otherwise elsewhere), neither did I say that eating AIO sales by iMacs was bad (for all I know iMac margins could be larger than AIO --I don't think so, but it could well be the case). I just stated that it would happen, good or bad, macosrumors seems to agree. I have pointed out how quite a few times I made extremely positive comments on Apple and your defensive attitude precluded you from seeing that. I bet you that if you had asked in each of the previous quarters, after actual figures were released, if my revenue estimate was (a) too low or (b) too high, bulls here would have answered (a) with no hesitation whatsoever. Now I invite you to check and see that it was in both cases (b). So, Phil next time take a deep breath before rushing to the defense of your Apple baby...
