I stand by my statement.  a much higher percentage of all Macs are on the 
internet than all IBM and clones.  This will be changing with Win 95 becoming 
installed and actually used, but it was true till very recently, and I think 
still is.
  
 BC> 4% according to the latest numbers I've seen in PCWEEK and 
 BC> InfoWORLD. 
  
Both of those rags are _*BIASED*_.  (Can I emphasize that any more?)  I 
wouldn't trust them any further than I can throw them and Byte is no better.  
I believe Intel and Bill Gates own them all.    Or at least they own 
their souls - no matter how hard they protest.
  
When you get a minute, start asking people on the net which kind of computer 
they prefer to run on the net.  I bet you hear a larger number of "Mac" than 
you expect.

Now take a look at the Mac and see what a *good* GUI is all about.  Win95 
still takes absurd liberties with the paradigm.  And us Mac users have been 
doing it better since January '84...  almost 12 years *before* "95" was 
available for purchase.
