According to this story the number is in the thousands ( 12,000 )

Reality check, dude. According to Apple's 10K filed with the SEC, they sold 5.3 million Macs last quarter alone. But since your 12,000 number comes from 2004, we can compare that with the same 10K which says Apple sold almost 3.3 million Macs that quarter in 2004.

Duh, that was 10K, not 10Q. 10Q has it at 1.3 million that quarter, 10K has the yearly number. Still, way bigger than 12,000.
