[Ti] Apple's market share (also "What a moron")

Thanks, Tim.

I think this point needs to be repeated often. Either cross-platform or
allow it somehow to be able to accept all applications as though written
for the Mac OS, or have an Apple in-house team do that...so that PC users
would feel comfortable in using the Mac OS, and NOT feel like they are
losing anything.

Apple needs ot increase its market share, and we need more Mac OS users!

Best,

Henry
