Like I say, outside of academia, I just don't see that many MACs

I don't see what academia use, I don't see what most companies use.
But I do see what people have in coffee houses - and there are lots of
Macs there.

That's about where you're going to find them since 3/4 of Macs being
sold are the laptops. The Mac desktop market keeps shrinking.


No, their desktop market is growing, just not as fast as their laptop
market.


For over 20 years I have been observing, "next year" was going to be the
"year of the mac", nothing has changed in that arena, in a LONG, LONG time!

I don't think you or I will live long enough to see the 'year of the
mac' if that is defined as Apple being the dominant tech provider. Not
going to happen.

But the 'year of the Mac' has already happened in the upscale tech
market with consumers with a few bucks.
