You think that's funny when he says it don't you. Well how about when an
article in PC Week says the EXACT same thing.. that the mac is losing in
business applications, and will continue to lose into the nineties. For all of
you people who ask - "Where is your proof!" Look in PC Week December 11, 1989
Vol. 6 No. 49, on page 11 in the right column. William Zachmann has an
small article on how small the Mac market is becoming. I know that he is not
the beat all expert, but he is not the type to make idle statements without
some basis in fact. I just guess that its the PC world will have the last
laugh when eventually, you can ask a business man if his office uses Macs and
says "A what?".
