   It ain't really a fantasy. Technically it's not Mac computers that are   
   selling massively (although sales have risen), but the iPhone and iPad   
   that are massive sales hits.

   Yep, that would explain why only last night I had to leave a Windows   
   laptop for nearly an hour downloading a 16MB update (via a dail-up

   have downloaded even 1k of such silliness.
