During these financially dire times, it's always interesting to keep en eye on the sales figures of computes, to see if the downward trend is still running. Sales figures from February analysed by NPD indicate that while Mac sales went down, sales of Windows PCs went up. Mind, though, that these figures are US-only.

Hmm, that was strange, I noticed that you were marked down for some reason, so I have added a point onto your post.
Even just casual observance on mac forums will tell you that many were holding off for a refresh due to the rumour mill in "any time soon" mode. I know if I heard of a refresh and an iMac wasn't an incredibly important purchase that I needed straight away - I would have held off for the refresh.
It will be interesting to see what their international sales figures are like - the financial crisis in the US may have spread in the form of slow or negative economic growth but the vast majority of countries don't have banks on the verge of collapse. Although the US sales might be shrinking, the telling sign will be international sales which IMHO Apple should focus heavily on developing as dependence on the US market can be devistating as seen by Chrysler own financial situation where their over exposure to the American market has resulted them going belly up several times it is corporate life.
