These are important billion dollar fields. A movie film spends as much on this as on the film itself. My hair dresser uses macs. So does my Lawyer! (which surprized me). I'm seeing them in all not the obvious Mac places. Sure widows is OK to and they've made inroads into the Mac creative fields as Photoshop by any other name as well as other Adobe applications you need to make a brochure. And the internet is a platform with out an obvious platform and that playing field and that seems to be the main thing. Where the platforms get along. What platforms to these palm pilots use? Nothing that either Mac or IBM can gloat about from what i can gather. But they all communicate. One can look at the figures at the amount of computers Mac is making. Where are they all going to? They make more computers than any single company in the woild. How long is the waiting list on the burgeoning Mac 5s and how many times faster are than than the windows?
