CNET News.com reports that during the September, that overall PC sales grew by 17.1 percent, while sales in the US grew by 11 percent--driven by the popularity of notebooks, low-cost systems and international sales. The same numbers show that Apple has a 2.3 percent market share worldwide, while Gateway saw its U.S. market share rise from 5.2 percent to 6.4 percent through a growth rate of 35.2 percent.

    numbers don't make sense

    Last quarter, Apple's US share had risen from 3.7% in the first quarter to 4.5%. so Apple's sales went up by 44% vs 13 or so % for the indusrty as a whole and their markershare went from 3.3% to 4.3%?

    This makes no sense. Somewhere the numbers are wrong.

    Re: don't make sense

    I think the rise they're talking about is year-on-year. If you're talking quarter-to-quarter, yeah, it's actually gone down 0.2 of a percentage point.
