When you mention how slow the NeXT has been to catch on, often someone will say, yeah, but the Mac took a while to catch on, too. I was just cleaning out my files tonight, and I came across some interesting numbers given to me a while back by MacWeek's market research department. Macintoshes shipped: 1984 259,000 1985 231,000 1986 354,000 1987 526,000 (anyone have 1988 and 1989 figures?) All rumor I have heard puts NeXT's shipments at between 10,000 and 15,000 in the first, what has it been, 9 months now? --dave yost yost@dpw.com or uunet!esquire!yost Please ignore the From or Reply-To fields above, if different.
