- Can I hold you to your claim? When 1998 comes around, then I can say
- "nyahh you were wrong"-- X86 is far too widespread to eliminate, and
- more than one hi-quality item has disappeared from lack of all-around
- support. MAC's are far from obsolete, yet we still have MACcomplaints of
- little support. I am guessing that what will dominate in '98 (heh I'm a
- rapper) will either be X86 or a close relative. Now, if I only had any
- cash to lay down on that one. Hmmm.
