I don't know. How many?
Oh, you don't know either? Then why did you bring it up?

Well, if you want to look at cash flow, maybe you should look at cash flow for the last quarter:
Apple's cash flow increased by 33% over the previous year:

So this quarter was so bad that their cash flow only increased by 33% - and that was with one fewer week.
