CPM lost the war after IBM made DOS the defacto standard. CPM hung on for a few years, and Z-80 has a long life inside things.The initial war was between the Apples and CPM, then between DOS and Apple, with DOS overtaking and vanquishing Apple, fortuneately Apple had $$ from the good years to hang in there, and now has a nice small niche to live in. I predict it will live happily in the nich grow a bit but lose share and expand share only after some clone scenario evolves that allows clones to prosper and not kill Apple further. Bill
