Not doubting you - I'm genuinely curious. By the way - even if iPad sales are higher than (Apple) desktop sales, and if iPad sales are on the rise and desktop sales on in decline, please do not assume that desktop sales are taking a hit because of iPads.

OTOH, they had a huge growth in Mac sales too.
