Sorry, I have no exact figures, but this again is not true after
what I hear, at least not for Germany. Apple is NOT dominant in
any aspect, they sell about half as many machines as Commodore
(I think, I heard it this way. Apple has (had?) a definite high-
price policy here.) Yes, and it is true that the Amiga outsells
the ST, but only since the last approx. two years, before that Atari
sold more machines.

And yes, the PCs dominate strongly above all. But again, Commodore
is a strong contender here, number 2 after IBM.
