Did the WSJ mention the source of this "data?"

Oh, well - here I go again (folks must be getting real tired of this - I
know I am):

From the Aug. 23/95 issue of Computer Dealer News, p. 29:

Canadian Shipments of PC's by Operating System

              1993    1994    1995 (YTD May)
              ----    ----    --------------
Windows/DOS   61.2    57.3    53.4
DOS alone     18.8    13.3    11.6
Mac OS        10.3    12.5    12.6

Yep - in this part of the world at least, Windows shipments are
*declining* and Mac OS shipments are increasing.

In addition, the *installed* base of Macs is growing at a faster rate than
that of Windows-based machines according to several independent sources,
including Computer Intelligence Infocorp's 1994 survey that revealed a 10%
installed base increase for Macs vs. a 7% increase for Windows-based PC's.

Anything but a "drop" and a far cry from 6%. Are things really that
different in the U.S.? BTW, most estimates place the installed base of
Macs at about 15% market share.
