Apple Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) ended the day up $1.51, or 1.89%. This put the stock's price at $81.46, breaking the $80 barrier quite nicely. This was nice momentum due to last week's incredible earnings report and figures of both iPods and computers shipped.The other good news for Apple is a new survey by ChangeWave Research that shows lots of switchers are getting ready to move to Apple this holiday season. After surveying members the company sees that planned purchases of Apple computers will be up for the holidays. While ChangeWave's members are a bit more tech-oriented, the percentage of members wanting a Christmas Apple have shifted from 19% last year to 37% this year, and ChangeWave thinks it's the start of big market-share shift.
