DOS Computers manufactured by companies such as IBM, Compaq,
Tandy, and  millions of others are by far the most popular, with about 70
million  machines in use worldwide.  Macintosh fans, on the other hand, may
note that cockroaches are far more numerous than humans, and that numbers
alone do not denote a higher life form.
