Greetz,

As someone who REALLY dislikes the macs, I gotta tell ya something. I
work for ****** *****, a VERY large office superstore chain. About 7
months ago, our company decided to discontinue all the macs. We no
longer receive macs, nor mac hardware (no kidding, not a single piece),
and haven't for more than 1/2 year. When we DID sell them, we sold about
1 mac per 10 PC's - I guess the company decided that they could use that
space for better things - and it did - we have Compaq's there now (not
that I like THEM too much either).

I have a friend who works at ******* - they've discontinued all the mac
crap too. We still receive some mac software, but it's dwarfed with a PC
to Mac soft. ratio of 40:1 (not exaggerated).

Just wanted to let you know this. As you can tell, with endorsement like
that, apple won't last for too long. I guess... 3 more years. How long
do you guess ;)
