don't think this will be "an issue"....maybe I'm wrong, but IMO Apple should not be a "big
indicator" in this market.

Liz,

Apple is not an issue to the market. I agree with that. However the following statement is way off.

IMO the general market has been moving away from Apple for some
time...at least from the point of view of the retail market. Most people that I know want to
own a PC.

Since Steve Jobs went back to work at Apple, Apple has increase their market share from 5% to 10%. That is only the last few years. Also, Apple's sales growth currently exceeds all manufacturers of computers. The people you know may not be representative of Apple's market. How many of them to graphic work? I am not going to debate which operating system is better such as versions of the Mac, Windows, NT, Unix, etc. However, you might want to know that "PC" is an acronym for Personal Computer and a Macintosh is a personal computer.

Also, Apple has no one making clones so that 10% market share is all sold by Apple.

Gezz..the stuff one reads on these threads at times.

By the way, I do not own Apple stock. I do own a variety of Macs and Windows based machines. My employees all prefer working on the Macs and we would be all Mac in our firm except there is certain software we use that only runs under Windows and NT. On the other hand, there is certain software we use that only run on the Mac.

How many hours of hands on experience have you had on a Mac?
