The last couple of computer superstores I walked into featured
know-littles with more misinformation than the Weekly National News (and
not just on the Mac side of the house) and with no clue to what's in stock
and how it works... Give me mail order, where I order what I want and it's
mine tomorrow for a whole $3 overnight express charge.

You're kidding, right? Does that statement make sense if you rephrase it?

"Driving a Porsche is dumb. Don't you know Ford sold 350,000 Tauruses last
year?"

"Those hamburgers _must_ be the best. They've sold billions of them."

There are 60 million people using MacOS systems. Most of us won't consider
using anything else. Wintel computer manufacturers should have such a
loyal customer base ...
