No wager, this is a fact.  Only recently have IBM and Compaq began
to even touch the Apple record.  Suprisingly (or not), many, many
Powerbook owners are PC users regularly who just went over.

nearly NONE for PC notebooks.  I could see proportional differences
but this is a landslide.

Wouldn't we all? I think that's part of the key to the success of
the Powerbooks -- built-in everything -- SCSI, sound, ethernet...

The Thinkpads represent the best from the PC world, but it's still
not really comparable in terms of an all-in-one unit.  Let's keep
our fingers crossed!
