So, what does numbers have to do with anything. If that were the case then
NeXT users would worry, PC users would rejoice and Mac users would be
wondering what will happen as developers come out with Windows3.0
applications which can't be had on the Mac( To my amazement MathCad 3.0
for Windows will have around 85% of Maple built in, have a graphical
interface for Maple, be a mathematical typing tool, etc...-> my MathCad
for the Mac was equated to the "old" PC MathCad, even though it is fairly
new, and MathSoft has no plans of upgrading it at this time.).
 
Keep in mind the number of people that created C and Unix.
