[Ti] Market Share: 2.3% -- That's NOT good press, coupled with the loss

IF, IF, IF!  If elephants could fly, we would all be taking flying 
poop more seriously!  It is not a market share issue! It is a NUMBERS 
issue.  When the number of Macs was dropping faster than a 
thermometer at the North Pole (1995) there WAS an Exodus of 
developers.  But the NUMBER of Macs being sold and used today is 
enough (and growing) for these folks to make money, hence the 
resurgence of Mac hardware and software to numbers that continue to 
grow almost exponentially.

If I can sell 200,000 products and make $50 profit from each, it 
doesn't matter what percentage of the market that is.
