66% Apple Market Share For Sales of High-End PCs 724
An anonymous reader lets us know about a recent analysis of retail computer sales numbers that shines a spotlight on Apple's sales growth as the PC market has flattened. In the lucrative >$1,000 PC segment, in the first quarter of 2008, Apple's retail market share was 66%. This includes a 64% market share for laptops and a market share for desktops of 70%. The article attributes the bulk of this success to Apple's stores. Fortune picked up this report and pointed out the somewhat obvious fact that the >$1,000 PC segment is Apple's by default, since Dell, HP, and Lenovo sell the bulk of their machines in the $500-$750 range, and Apple has only one model selling for less than $1,000. As the analyst said, "If you don't give people a choice [in the Apple stores], people will spend more."

...will always find someone to tend the fire. Still, I'm sure they sleep better knowing that they're 'Trendy Mac', rather than 'Fat, Sad PC'.
* What they don't realize, of course, is that PC only got fat because Mac's mother gave him a cookie every time he fucked her.

Are you a short perl script?
You certainly sound like one, as you repeat just about the entire post over and over, it seems in response to any post by twitter.
