I saw AAPL on the move this morning so I went to have a glimpse at the news. Couldn’t see anything really extraordinary that should move it but found another interesting article about the company.

Apple’s Macintosh computer business makes a comeback - Aug. 22, 2007

But a funny thing has happened over the past couple of quarters. While Apple has been firing on all cylinders, and the iPhone is selling hundreds of thousands of units a month, its Macintosh business is the hottest line of all. It roared back in the quarter that ended in June to reclaim its status as the company’s largest revenue source and, at long last, break that 5 percent share barrier, according to IDC. Indeed, Apple’s U.S. Mac sales have grown at triple the rate of the rest of the PC industry since last fall, propelling it into third place in the U.S., behind Dell (Charts, Fortune 500) and Hewlett-Packard (Charts, Fortune 500).

I’m not really surprised. I’ve recently switched to a Mac after decades of using Microsoft OS’s, I’m obviously not that unique ;-)

Disclosure: I am (a recent) shareholder :-)
