In the Macintosh market, is this (the "much" bigger part) really true? How numerious are Macs in Europe/Asia/Africa when compared to the US? I'm not sure about Asia and Africa, but I seem to recall that in Europe Macs cost at least twice that of their American counterparts. Somehow, with Apple's foreign market pricing, I'm not sure if the non American market is that large. Anyway, this is just my guess. Does anyone have the data to show if I'm right?
