Apple is throwing a hammer into the works to stop the un-stoppable IBM-PC sweep. Todays New York Times reports IBM-PC sales have exceeded expectations for 4q83. If I remember it right, they sold more in the quarter than they had in the previous year & some months since it was introduced. PCjr's were said to be in short supply. Darn if I know where the demand is coming from for those things! Drew
