It was funny.  I had a talk in front of the San Diego Apple Users Group (later 
morphed into the Mac Users Group) and those tech heads could not be convinced 
of this.  They don't get the part that says, "First, we rip out millions of 
dollars of existing infrastructure," needs to be offset by "because this change 
will end up making us more money."  Home computers were still "neep, neep" 
stuff by propeller heads, and business had only just begun to start looking to 
PCs in strategic locations to free up overhead from dedicated main frames.  The 
first people to get PCs in business were secretaries and accounts, and the art 
departments got early Macs.

Best, R.E.F.
