You can look it up. I'd be surprised if stock repurchase boosted the EPS by more than a couple percent.

I know our next PC purchase will be an iPad, not another MacBook. Almost all the use of the second and third PC in the house is for browsing, email, video streaming. Don't need a laptop for that.

All consumer PC makers are reporting their consumer notebook sales, especially lower end ones and netbooks, are being hurt by iPad. Look at stock charts of INTC AMD NVDA STX WDC etc etc. The PC OEMs are rushing to launch tablets. But when iPad came out, all the pending tablet launches were cancelled because iPad was so good and so cheap relative to what the competitors expected. So they had to go back to the drawing board. And Android for tablets is still not ready yet. iPad has a clear field for holiday '10.
