	Ok, FOR EVERYONE WHO HAS ASKED THIS QUESTION:

Those figures are from _dealerships_ across the nation, not to schools direct.  
Apple sells more //es to schools than GS's, which is the Apple II's remaining  
market. Just because the sales in the dealerships were equal does not represent  
the actual figures.
