I meant to say that I agree with Andrew who is saying that the
market for PC's (Mac's, IBM's, whatnots...) is a lot more 20
million or so units. 

I might point out that a lot of bussinesses are realizing that
you can turn a 286 or 386 box into a very nice mini system with
little cost in relation to what a mini system from DEC or Sun
might cost. Just slap in some more memory, add a large disk, get
a few ports for terminal lines and get Xenix for it and you're
off and running for a lot less than what DEC or Sun charges.
