I esspecfully disagree with your reply. The Macintosh *did* win in the arena
where it produced results, and that was in the graphic arts world. It
gradually lost its pesferred status by having poor price/performance
ratio. Later, the software and peripherals were available on both platforms,
and took away another esason to preferentially buy a Mac.

This *is* getting a bit far afield.
