Just in case you were wondering, the top 10 micro computer manufacturers
last year (in sales of personal computer hard- and software) were...

IBM		$1,400	(millions)
Apple Computer	 1,100
Radio Shack	 1,100
Commodore	   800
Hewlett-Packard	   550
Atari		   350
Digital Equipment  200
Victor		   150   (first year of production)
TeleVideo	   100   (first year of production)

These figures were quoted in Sol Libes' column of Microsystems. By the
way, why do people subscribe to Byte?

Two reasons: One, we are interested in something other than CP/M. Two,
it's the best source of new product announcements (ads) around.
