This is a little off topic, but I must add my two cents worth. Mel,
you're right, at least to a degree, but the only reason is there are more
people writing software for the PC. If mac had had a) an optional command
line interface OS, and b) had leased it's os out for clones back in 1984,
then the macintosh would be at least equal to, if not ahead of the PC,
simply because it is more "friendly". Sure, there are problems, but not
like PC.
