You can find the figures in www.macevolution.com. The year over year unit sales had held steady (not falling) until this quarter which saw a significant increase on unit sales.

>I have a friend who claims that the total units sold (Powerbooks, G3's, iMacs everything) is still decreasing year over year. Can this be right?< Total cpu sales are up but your friend probably is confusing that with total revenue which is flat to marginally down. This is because AAPL has discontinued unprofitable product lines like printers, scanners and Newtons. The key thing is that high margin profitable cpu and software (OS) sales have taken up the slack of unprofitable peripheral sales.
