Actually it is 1 out of every 4 machines is a Mac. Which is actually a
28-30% market share, or slight more than 1 in 4.  And Edu is a little over
50%.  And for graphic design I believe it is even higher.  The reason PCs
seem to have such a large market share is because DataQuest doesn't report
the Home/school markets accurately, and PCs do have an inordinately high
marketshare in business.  But elsewhere they aren't near as, or even,
dominant.
