Blue - Your absolutely right about pinning down the numbers based on Web Stats.

What other metrics can be used to give us a ball park figure though ?

Many of my colleagues at work that attend Information Technology & Security seminars have remarked that Apple Powerbooks are much in evidence at these events. This is interesting because the IT world has been dominated by Windows systems for at least 15 Years.

I'm still very bullish on Apple long term but in the near term I believe economic circumstances could thwart the stocks value at this level. I believe we will be seeing economic problems getting more pronounced as interest rates continue to rise and most probably another round of layoffs coming late this year if we continue to see slow growth.
