FACTS???


"The FACTS are that PCs have NEVER been more popular at companies than they are right NOW."


There are quite a few IS types that probably won't agree with you on that one:
businessweek.com
techstocks.com


"Where is your EVIDENCE, any at all, that PCs are losing favor to NCs ANYWHERE or ANYPLACE?"


Ok, here is some evidence:

The key points from this article are: 1) IBM was able to sell 500,000 before the Netstation was even officially announced 2) Response was so good that the '96 production capacity was all used up 3) Most of those 500,000 IBM Netstations are replacing PCs.
