According to MacWeek, Apple sold 1.5 million Macintoshes last year alone.  
IBM shipped 1.25 million PS/2s, not to mention all the clones.

According to AmigaMail, the millionth Amiga shipped about a year and a half
ago.

Yes, there are a lot of STs out there (enough to keep us all afloat), but 
they ain't exactly taking over the world.  Oh, well.  The geniuses are often in
the minority until the slower masses catch up.
