I think the loss was due to substantially increased sales, or more
accurately, due to the price wars and price slashing htey have been
having with the PC venders.  Apple cut their margins substantially to
compete with the PC cloners.  I heard that they will probably pull out
of the low end market and let the Mac cloners compete in that area.
