I am an Apple // owner, and you're dead wrong about no software of 
significance coming out lately.  What about Word Perfect?  You state
that it is a standard, is the Apple // version not significant?  That's
would be odd since its's the same program that runs on the PC.  How about
Supercalc 3a? VIP Professional? Deluxe Paint? Paintworks Plus?  And we
shouldn't forget about Appleworks, since it now outsells Lotus 123.  I
can name dozens of other programs.  I think the thousands of programs
argument is significant because the user has a choice and is not forced
to use a particular program because there is no other choice.  It is not the 
only factor though.
