I've been trying to get a picture of the sales of various processors and complete systems in various categories, including workstations, minicomputers, mainframes and personal computers. Unfortunately different sources seem to count these things different ways (e.g., some include servers in workstations, some don't). I've seen huge variations on claimed market share (for example, Sun's 1991 figure varying from 29% to 40%), without much clarity on what is being measured. Is there a reliable reasonably freely available source on these statistics? I would ideally like to go back a few years. -- Philip Machanick Computer Science Dept, Univ of the Witwatersrand, 2050 Wits, South Africa philip@concave.cs.wits.ac.za phone: 27 (11) 716-3759 fax: 339-7965
