| Apple's #1 in annual profits with a 552% jump!
According to this site: http://businessweek.com/magazine/con...8/b3871084.htm Here is a piece: "...Earnings for the computer industry soared 210%. Apple Computer Inc. (AAPL ) recorded the largest increase for the group, a 552% jump in annual profits to $137 million, thanks to strong sales of its computers and the iPod. ..."

But that small part of self-grandeur aside, apple is coming back in force! How happy we are that the iPod has been such a fantastic product and is dragging wintel users to the osx platform in there droves. It truly is all up up up from here on in. We are all Mac users, and we all do our part in promoting the platform to the general public who don’t know, simply due to lack of information how good the platform is. So I hope that I may be so bold as to say, that it is to do with apples fantastic products... but also to do with every member on this forum that apple is coming into there own, even if you mention in the pub to a group of people "Oh no, I use a Mac" then that’s promotion its self. So well done to apple and well done to us for being small cogs in the great machine that is Apple Computer. Well Done MacFreaks.

Doesn't Apple need the massive interest earned from that 4.8 billion dollar cash mountain to stay profitable?

Sorry everyone, I'm no economist, is the interest earned added into their quarterly statements? I suppose my point is simply this: does Apple actually make profits from selling computers?
