<<Typical of a bear. Using the term "double" to understate the full 125% increase that going from 6 to 13.5% represents. ;-) Sheesh.>> Touche! LOL.

<<Seriously, though, you say that July sales were 214,000. A 13.5/6 growth in August sales means about 481,500 units. If September drops off a bit to 450,000, we still get approximately 1.14 million units shipped for Q4 (not all that far from one article's off-handed mention of AAPL possibly doubling units shipped).>> Andrew, I think July's sales volume is a lot more than 214,000 units. I have calculated in the previous post: Message 5789615 Based on that number, the total units sold in August as well as in the entire quarter needs to be adjusted significantly. Phil

Of course, we're basing this whole thing on "retail" sales figures. I was under the impression that the latest article from c\|news is not retail sales but overall sales.
