What? You mean Apple is *NOT* the leading manufacturer of personal computers? I don't believe you! The next thing you'll be telling me is that they don't let other companies make compatible equipment for their computers..... :-) I remember when the MAC first came out & I was looking at one in a showroom. I asked the salesman how to get to the command line and he said "There isn't one". "But then, how do you program it?" I asked naively. "You don't. You buy software - or you can buy some add-on programming toolkit, yada, yada, yada..." My response was "Boy, you guys really know how to attract software developers, don't you...." I did not buy a Mac at that time....
