leaves us with 21,245,000 of Macs sold since 1998. 63,735,000 users (we multiplied by 3, per
Apple averaging) is still a healthy number for the G3 through G5 crowd. Add 5,510,600 and you
end back up to our final Running Total In Use because we added back some of the 48,000,000
pre G3 units in the table. That can't be too far off, can it?
So I think my so called off the cuff estimate is close to being accurate. Prove me wrong. Or
agree with me.

For those who are in their right minds, we have this table in graph form as well. The Macs Sold
Per Quarter (
GREEN
) doesn't look like much, does it? That is the market share the Financial
Analysts focus on. In this graph, it hardly looks worth the effort.
Now look at the Newer Macs (
GOLD
). This is the nice gradual increase that investors love to
see in business plans.
