CompuServe Messages

I'm really not picking on you… Perhaps your messages are the most thought provoking. <g> If one were to output articles strictly based on market share, then a new product with zero share would get zero articles. (Or perhaps just one, and then be dropped till it was successful.) Did the original IBM PC languish for articles till it surpassed the Apple II? Did the Mac, which had even less software at introduction, wait for articles? Nope, at that time, articles were based on what was new and exciting. Now articles are weighed by market share? I guess by comparison, NeXt is really overwritten about. I won't look forward to another article on them for years. <g> Personally, if the day comes when something new, and exciting, and better than the Amiga, comes out. I want to hear about it, so I can go get one. While I really like my Amiga, (I also have a clone, and a Mac +), if a better machine is built, I want to hear all about it. I think some magazines, use the market ratio approach to explain away their fears of alienating those who must believe that their computer is the only possible solution to the problem, and that they "bought right." – Alex
