Just thought I'd drop in and say hi!

Probably due to a large numbers of developers new to iPod, iPhone and/or iPad development buying Macs to develop for these devices. Honestly though, I really don't know either way whether this is substantially influencing sales of Macs or not, but I'd be willing to bet that the this requirement for development for their mobile devices is having some impact on sales figures. I am also aware that anything Apple certainly has some cachet attached to it these days. some of it deservedly and much of it due to strong marketting, whcih is at least 50% if not more of the reason people buy Apple products these days. Anyway, whether you love or hate them, nobody can deny that they're more successful than most of their competitors at the moment. I would love to see someone take our beloved Amiga in this direction and make it a success like Jobs and his team managed to do with the Mac/AppleOS/NextStep, but I don't think this will happen in my lifetime if ever.

Unlike Amiga, Apple Macintosh is stilll unified under Apple Inc. All Apple needs is leadership from Steve Jobs and team. The results speaks for themselves.
