Please translate in English.

Apple just posted a 63 $ quarterly profit.

I don't feel that this is a sign of Apple losing. This just shows that 3 companies have defected. It happens all the time. Both ways. This is obviously not a good thing, but it doesn't mean Apple is down and out. Just like Gia said, Apple just posted 63 Million USD in profit, and raised their cash on hand to about 4.8 Billion USD. Nothing to worry about.

4.8 billion in the bank is no chump change!

Yeah, that's how I read it, and felt something was a wee off. However, as noted in my previous post in this thread, that is not really too big of an issue. Especially with Apple's growth in Europe being as high as it was.

This really doesn't tell me anything different that I don't already know. The iMac line (which in the financial numbers for Apple includes the eMac) has been slipping for a while. A problem with the G5 sales (which actually included G4 Xserves) was slipping due to problems with shipping and cancelled orders due to long waits. All these problems have been solved. Apple is not going anywhere. They are in a strong financial position. They have fixed many of the issues regarding warranty repairs in this past quarter. Also, they have improved the quality of the production.
Apple is doing fine.
