Not surprising, really.  The PC Clone market is real tough these days, and 
companies are becoming educated in their purchasing habits.  Even if they
need a PC Compatible, why buy it from IBM.  Anyway, we had something posted
on the wall around here that said IBM lost some 1 billion+, they can't be
doing too well all around to lose that kind of green.  Apple competes with the
PC Clones, but by offering something different, not just the same old thing,
only faster-cheaper.
