It was like Apple computers years and years ago in the US when more people flocked to PC's. Owning an Apple computer at that time meant less places to shop at, less software, less support and paying higher prices. (Things have definitely changed for the Apple these days. Still cost more than a PC, but the overall cost has definitely come down).
