Now you're nitpicking. So what if they quit for awhile. Isn't IBM
where MS basically got it's start? Don't get me wrong. I'm one of
those Apple fan boys. But still, there have been other companies
around for quite awhile. When did Compaq get started? And is Radio
Shack still making their own, just labeling them different? I don't
know. I try and stay away from Radio Shack after looking for a cable
splitter and the only one they had was over $12. I found one at
Walmart for 98 cents.

IBM left the PC market (more than once). Sun has sold PCs, but never
really got into the PC market very long - they were traditionally

Thank you,
