Yes, you are right, I did forget about the schools.  But still, that's a
small addition to the DTP arena, besides which not every school used
Apples.  Some also used Tandy's, some used Commodores, and some used
PC's.  Don't forget that Apple's marketshare has been on a slide for
years, and has now fallen to 3%.
