Single tasking single user machines? Depends on the work you need
done.

Your statement may be true for: 

- Universities
- Hackers
- Computer companies
- High end power users
- Engineers
- CAD/CAM 

But I'll bet that most businesses still use far more PCs than 
anything else. After all, why would anyone need a Sparc for 
wordprocessing when Wordperfect 5.1 will run perfectly well on
a 286 PC? The 286 will cost a tenth of what the Sparc goes for
anyhow.
