[geeks] RE: Reevaluating Macintosh (was Dual Xeon vs Dual G4)

[Brian]

OK, heres q3 '02 data showing a server market share of 1.2%
http://www.macobserver.com/article/2002/10/28.7.shtml
Heres a Feb 03 article quoting IDC research indicating 3.5% market share.
It takes a little time to get this data accurately.  Regarding the Apple
stores, when I've gone in out of curiosity, I've either been ignored or been
unable to try a laptop due to an unbelievably whiny 8 year old.
