  Wow, another brain-dead lemming! Mac sells between 7 and 13% of all
computers (they are usually around 9%) and are around 35% of all used
computers. The reason that they sell 10% of computers, but are 35% of all
used computers is because they last so damn long! 
  In the Department of Radiology at Michigan we have literally dozens of
Mac SE's and classics still in use all over the damn place. They don't
die! We can't get rid of them! We keep them in public places (film reading
rooms and libraries) for doctors/residents/techs to check their email and
sign patient reports.
  This compares to the two (yes, only two) 286's that we can still get to work.
