Pretty impressive, considering the 'recession'.

Whatever you think of Apple, what's amazing here aren't the sales numbers, it's the margins and increases over last year (17% sales increase, but 35%+ margin increase). Purely from a company success point of view, would you rather be Dell or Apple? This doesn't even include the holiday season sales, which is going to be a nut-a-thon for iPod touch sales and more Macs.

I'm actually falling out of love slightly with Apple, AT&T service on iPhone, my wife's poorly MacBook and some other things are troubling me, not to mention Windows 7 is very sweet (although it doesn't magically improve apps). But I am impressed with this company...

As an investor, you think Balmer..? Jobs..? hmm...
