I'm only peripherially aware of what is going on at Apple, but hasn't a lot of the share price gain been due to the ITunes and IPOD business.

One area into which the iPod's success hasn't translated is Apple's long-languishing Mac line. Although Apple had hoped that a swell of iPod customers would result in higher sales of the pricey but elegant Mac, that hasn't been the case. According to Gartner, Mac's worldwide market share fell to 1.8 percent in the most recent quarter, down from 2.1 percent in the same quarter a year ago. (Annual computer sales figures placed the Mac market share at 1.7 percent for calendar year 2003.) In the United States, the Mac's market share dropped from 3.6 percent to 3.2 percent in the same time period.
