I think this + SJ giving everyone 3 days off (paid) = One helluva earnings report coming up!

It also means we should see about $1 per share EPS.

Assuming Gartner’s numbers are in the ballpark and that Apple still (?) has a 60-40 U.S.-to-international Mac sales ratio, that’s 2.2 million Macs we’re talkin’ about.  Not half bad! 

I’d say more than half good! 

If this PC virus is as malicious as it is sneaky we may see switchers in droves.

It’s called the Storm worm. It first appeared at the beginning of the year, hidden in email attachments with the subject line: ‘230 dead as storm batters Europe’. The PC of anyone who opened the attachment became infected and was secretly enrolled in an ever-growing network of compromised machines called a ‘botnet’. The term ‘bot’ is a derivation of ‘software robot’, which is another way of saying that an infected machine effectively becomes the obedient slave of its - illicit - owner. If your PC is compromised in this way then, while you may own the machine, someone else controls it. And they can use it to send spam, to participate in distributed denial-of-service attacks on banks, e-commerce or government websites, or for other even more sinister purposes.

If the anti-virus firms are aware of this worm, why haven’t they updated their software to remove it?

EDIT: I see that they have, but it keeps being updated.

I should point out I know nil about PCs and the security to keep them running. 

I first got interested in investing in AAPL during a hyped PC virus and thinking a really bad one would come along someday and make Macs must haves.  I keep hoping in a twisted sort of way.

Here’s a an article with, perhaps, the flip side.
