From the little blurbs on the front page of today's October 20 WSJ:

Apple Computer said profit and sales for its latest quarter surged about
50%, exceeding its own expectations.  The growth was linked to booming
sales of Macintosh computers.


The article on page 3 includes a table of Mac sales

					corporate
	Total units	Mac II		revenue (billions)*
1984	282,000				1.52
1985	259,000				1.92
1986	412,000				1.90
1987	713,000				2.66
1988	933,000		190,000		4.07

* for the fiscal years ending late september of each year

It will be interesting to see if the latest price hikes have any effect.
