>> > Try Apple vs (Compaq + IBM + GW200 + Dell + Micron + Packard Bell + > a 1000+ other PC cloners.) > Probably for the same reason you wouldnt compare: Ford vs (GM + Honda + Toyota + VW + ...) when looking at a single company's performance and standings.<< Cars and computers don't make for much of an analogy, at least not when you're talking about the Mac vs. PCs. The problem is that Macs run the MacOS which does not run apps written for that other OS which owns about 80% of the market. Ford, GM, Honda, et al all run on the same gas so that is not an accurate comparison. Imagine Ford's cars required a special gasoline that no other cars could use, then you'd have a better analogy. -- Ernest Kim e.kim@dotsonline.com Microcomputer Specialist for DOTS, Inc. http://www.dotsonline.com
