I do not wish to start any flame wars about OS's but there has been a
lot in the computer press in the last few months about Apple's problems
with market share, finance etc. What happens if they go bust? Sure it is
unlikely but who knows? I can't see Microsoft or Intel going bust.
Regarding use of PC's in the UK. What is the situation in the rest of
the EEC? I can just see it now, a binding European directive that we
must all use a new EEC OS! But seriously if we over here are starting to
bias ourselves away from the Mac OS then given the purchasing power of
the EEC as a whole, the science software authors will have to take note
or exclude themselves from that market.
