Why couldn't they have done this when my options took a bath a few years ago.

I haven't seen one yet but I really want to see that as well. I don't know if it's every Q or only once a year they release all those details.

np dude

damn, just called home and my dad asked "did you buy last year with the 2 grand you have?" me "I have two grand to invest?!?" him "damn meant to remind you to invest that"

oh well. Who knows I might have lost it. Still think apple is overvalued folks. Remember don't be too greedy you have no profits until you sell.

The MacNN news page had this:
Apple shipped 167,000 Power Mac and Xserve units, a 19% decrease from the year-ago quarter.
Why the decrease?

He was comparing last Q where the NN front page was talking the year ago Q.

Why was year ago better then this? Probably still enjoying the pent up demand for the G5, I believe the 1.8 went dual in that time too probably giving a shot in the arm. Don't remember where the XServer was and it was updated last week after a year. But apple does not sell many XServes anyway. The Powermacs both years were at the same point (6 months old) so I bet many people who might have gotten a PM opted instead for the new G5 iMac. To this end notice the [ie]Macs made up 50% of all macs sold this Q up greatly.


That is my stab at reasons, I"m sure someone will do research and come with hard numbers.
