Wow - what news - they basically shipped zero iMacs for a whole month and sales declined from 2,033,000 units to 2,030,000 units during the same quarter.

Here we go with math again - down 0.2% - 3,000 units and as bob pointed out - no iMacs shipping. Had they shipped 3,000 more units I'm sure the headline would have been "extremely low growth of Apple Computers" (Probably not sensational enough).
A more honest headline would have been Apple holds almost steady in a 4.5% declining market despite delays in iMac. Who is doing honest these days though?

And since no iMac 27" models were shipping until January of 2013, those figures are likely skewed anyway.
