Mac sales to set another record, says analyst

The Computerworld story, "Mac sales to set another record, says analyst," posted Friday, contained an incorrect reference to the percent amount by which Mac sales increased in the fourth quarter. The correct reference is 43 percent. The deck and the third paragraph have been changed to reflect the correct percent change.

The deck now reads:

Apple will post fourth-quarter sales of 3.3M Macs, up 43% over 2008

The third paragraph now reads:

Year-over-year, Marshall's estimate of 3.3 million Macs would be a 43% increase from the 2.3 million systems Apple sold in the fourth quarter of 2008. That kind of gain would be a return to Apple sales trends during 2008, when the company racked up impressive year-over-year increases ranging from 21% in the third calendar quarter to a whopping 51% in the first quarter.
