Sometime back, this group was discussing the mysteries of
why Apple PowerBooks/Duos had so many 3rd-party parts made for them
while we IBM'ers had none.
The assumption was that Apple notebooks were the single biggest
seller and their market share made it economical to make 3rd party
stuff for.
Well, that's not the case!
According to the Wall Stree Journal a couple days ago (which lifted
the information from Dataquest), Here's what the market shares for the
"U.S. Portable Computer" market look like for Q3, 1994:
Apple: 10.1%
IBM: 13.3%
Compaq: 13.2%
Toshiba:19.5%
Others: 43.9%
Just another (perhaps useless) factoid for y'all. Apple doesn't
have a huge share of the portable market anymore than it does the "regular"
PC market.
