He reeled it in again expelling the clones forever to where clones go when they are expelled. That's how i remember it. I remember the clones. There ought to be clones. Quick send in the clones. Maybe I'm not keyed into the world of big business but I've been using macs since 9 months after they came out say '85 and I started out with the first Photoshop version I think in '86 and when ever i go into a Riches cigar store to look at magazines and buy them there are about 5 Mac magazines and about 8 PC magazines. The people who own the place use pc's. I designed my darkroom with an SE and my back porch. Bought an extra MG of memory for it for one grand a year later. The whole package cost more than my G4 I'm typing on now which if I sold it to a foroun national (whatever that is) i'd have tanks on my front lawn with paratroupers and swat teams swatting at my windows. Powells bookstore has not hundreds but thousands of Macs in the Mac section. I try to stay in the Mark section but it gets confusing. Lots of Max's floating around too/ One out of ten is one and one is not much but one tenth of billions is a handful. That's my math awareness. I bet people in marketing think one one tenth of a market is huge. Anybody in marketing here? I used to think marketing was going to the A&P. Isn’t it bliss?
