Hard to say. Even if Apple goes, the licenses to manufactuer Mac clones 
will still function. It's too early to anticipate, but with third party 
machines on the market...well...

Poppycock.

Piffle.

Stay away from IBMs.  Their software is unfriendly, their peripherals are
unreliable, the system isn't integrated and they're unpleasant to use. 
Plus they're ugly.  And they smell bad.

Like I say, try them both out.  Pick the one you like best.
