Apple News: They made $4bn profit

.....and every headline seems to end with "but iPad sales disappoint."

If 4.x million sold is disappointing, sign me up.

I think only reason some folks say this is they were expected to sell 5 million but with such high demand, were unable to make enough to do so.

I really doubt they are disappointed in selling 4.x million of these in such a short time.

I had a similar reaction when I first tried an older Mac, but I just got myself a new Mac Mini 2.4GHz with 2 gigs of ram this month.

I have to say I love it for what I use it for. I have it Midi connected to my Yamaha Clavinova and an Akai keyboard. Finale runs fine on it. Granted I just got it a couple weeks ago. It's small and quiet. I don't feel like I have a beast beside my piano anymore.

I've been playing World of Warcraft on it and I was pleasantly surprised.

I've been an XP fan for years but I find myself using the Mac more now.

Well. I'm a bit off topic. Yes, over 4bn and their shares slide...

How the shares slid is beyond me.  Of course I am not money guru.  They just had over 20billion quarter.  Highest they have EVER had.  Because instead of 5 million iPads they sold like 4.3m or something, and it slides.  Every single item they are selling is selling rather well and their quarter goes to prove it.

Oh well, I don't own any of their shares so no biggeee.  I wish I had some!  :laughing:
