Apple Posts 4th Quarter Financial Results

Posted by michael on from the not-broke-yet dept.

theanonymousbrit writes "From the AppleInsider article: 'Apple today announced financial results for its fiscal 2004 fourth quarter ended September 25, 2004. For the quarter, the Company posted a net profit of $106 million, or $.26 per diluted share.' This profit (on a revenue of $2.35 billion) apparently constitutes Apple's highest fourth quarter in nine years. In terms of actual units shipped, over 830,000 Macs and 2 million iPods were sold over the quarter. The strength of the new iMac G5 is also credited. Pretty impressive figures."

    Not true! Scotty has had an iBook for some time now, and apparently Captain Kirk is saving up for a G5 tower. Mr. Spock, of course, is sticking with his ancient Pentium II running NetBSD....
