- many Mac users are led to believe by official Apple policy!

- I believe Apple has definitely lost the game because they simply followed the
- wrong marketing policy from day one back in 1984/1985 when the first Mac was
- released. Although an exceptional machine with an exceptional & robust OS it
- finally fell short of establishing a wide user base such as this of PCs
- because of the short-sighted marketing policy from Apple.
