   I'm not sure I'd say that Mac computers are rising "massively", but they   
   are rising pretty steadily.   
      
   For instance, the last reported quarter, Apple reported that they sold   
   3.95 million Macs, which is nearly 14% more than the same quarter last   
   year (3.47 million), which in turn was more than 33% more than the same   
   quarter the year before that (2.6 million).   
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
   Is there another personal computer manufacturer of any any size that has   
   done anywhere near as well as growing its sales by nearly 52% in two   
   years?
