    edit: Some of the figures I used to arrive at my number.



    Mac sales in millions...
    Q4-2008 ? 2.61 (White MB starts at $1,099, Al MB doesn?t exist yet; 21% increase YoY from Q4-2007)) *

    Q1-2009 ? 2.52 (White MB starts at $999 ($100 drop), Al MB starts at $1,299; 09% increase YoY from Q1-2008) **

    Q4-2009 ? 3.05 (White MB starts at $999 with new case, Al MBP starts at $1,199 ($100 drop); 17% increase YoY from Q4-2008) ?
    With new MB and iMacs that just came out, new lower priced MBPs over last year, SL on Macs, a recession that is over is some regards and, actually, Windows7 helping spur the PC market in general the way the iPhone helped smartphone sales in general will all help Apple do a 25% increase in YoY unit sales, hence selling 3.12M units.



    I have read enough of your posts that I did actually think you probably had done some calculations to arrive at that number. Although that number initially sounded high to me, your logic does make sense.

    3 mil plus...my 2 cents!



    My daughter wants a new 15" MacBookPro for her second year in Med School and give me back my original intel 13" white macbook! (and she wants 2TB TimeCapsule)





    I will get a new 27" iMac to replace my original intel 20" white iMac. (and a 2TB TimeCapsule)



    There's two!

    Worry when their market share surpasses 25% of the market. That should take > 5 more years before you should see a psychiatrist to ease your fears.

    I can?t see that ever happen with the current business model. Even with inflation over the next decade the cheapest Mac notebook starting at $999 USD will make getting 25% of the worldwide marketshare an impossibility, especially with PC sales growing throughout the world as populace countries with low-income residences get more connected. HP may even have a problem holding onto their 25% marketshare.
