   Hmm.... Apple's selling a hell of a lot of Macintoshes, even with the
often cited quarterly losses, they've sold 4.50 million units in FY1995,
and even with the quarterly loss, they still turned a profit of over $1
billion dollars, as opposed to a $68 million loss, and $700 million
restructuring charges, and with sales that have increased yearly since
1984.    Pretty lively for a "dead system" that's "never coming back".

   Besides, there's over 22 million Macintosh users in the world that
would disagree with your mistaken belief that the Mac is a "dead system"
