- Relax. Apple is far from dead. If the losses become worse over 96, it
- will be bought out by some giant company. Let's hope it's not Micro$oft.
- Maybe then those bunch of idiot directors will be replaced (shades of C=

- Apple products make up a very significant percentage of sales to many
- companies (eg. 25% for microshaft last time i checked), even though
- there's much more intel shitboxes. Academia (universities etc) also likes
- using Macs -> I can't see a lot of universities suddenly switching to
- intel crap.... hence there's a large built in market, hence more
- reason to keep Apple going (something which Amiga never had).
- Apple clones are also being made, so there's some vested interest here as
- well.
