Excellent progress.
I think an iMac refresh and Leopard will increase those numbers as well. :D

Apple sales growing at just under 4 times the industry growth rate. That is huge.
If you thought the iPod had a halo effect, wait until you see what the iPhone has.

Just think how many more they'd sell if they'd just update the iMac and Mini already. :p

Very impressive growth from a lot of the other top vendors too, though. Toshiba and Acer both closed the gap considerably on Apple in the US. That growth is coming at the expense of Dell, Gateway, and a number of other smaller vendors, but Apple certainly has some competition still in that second tier.

Apple is only going to keep growing more and more with new Macs, Leopard, iPhone, & new iPods :) Apple will not become the majority... BUT, NEARLY ANYONE that is not poor will own a Mac instead of a PC in the near future :) :apple:

I'm really continually amazed that Gateway is still in business. Not only do they manage to find new lows for themselves... in 2003, eMachines was in the top five manufacturers all by itself... and now, three years after merging with Gateway, as far as I can tell, Gateway has managed to erode every last bit of eMachine's value. Gah. Deplorable.
