Jim, Apple has under 3% by boxes, a bit more by $$. This 8% is a fantasy that some cite. The new Imac will redress this a bit but a million of them is a billion in sales to Apple and we will sell 30 million PCs this year so a million imacs will get spread thin but will bring apple to 5% of boxes. $ figures are bigger as apples cost more per box so the Apple people like to cite them.
USB is coming for PCs too. It has better bandwidthnthan common serial but you can only put a few hogs on it. The full 127 would be slow items like keyboards and mice.
The big brother called firewire is good for 400 mega bits per second and will be good for storage/video etc. Still has the same hog problem, it will not go away. 40 hogs will be limited to 10 megabits per second each and not continuous transfrers, pelletised .
