IF Mac sales slip far down enough that 3rd parties abandon the platform
(which was happening when Apple nearly sank in 1997) your needs will NOT be
met.  There is a critical mass level of Mac sales that must be met or the
whole shooting match is going up in flames because 3rd parties will stop
developing for the platform.

I do not see this idea as obscure, yet many seem to be unable to grasp how
the market works: hardware sales drive software sales which in turn spur
continued software development by 3rd parties.
