FWIW, The New York Times published that little gem about five years ago:

  "DOS computers, made by I.B.M., Compaq, Tandy and about 
     a million other companies, are by far the most popular, 
   with about 70 million machines in use worldwide. Macintosh 
     fans will note that cockroaches are far more numerous       
   than humans, and that numbers alone do not connote a higher 
    life form."      - The New York Times, November 26, 1991   


Folks (like our trolling friend who started this thread) were predicting
the end of the MacOS then, too.
