imac bubble or not

in 1999 apple sold over 3.5 million macs

in 2003 they sold just over 3 million

http://www.macminute.com/2003/12/20/10k

"Mac sales declined 3% year-over-year to approximately 3 million units"

so they sold less than they did in 2002 as well.

all of this well past the recession of 2000 that someone mentioned.

mac sales are declining against their own historical norms and they are shrinking even faster against worldwide pc sales.
