And speaking of Apple...the Mac OS after ALL these years still has only a single digit share of the worldwide market so suggesting that its appearance ought to be a standard for any other software product isn't substantiated by MAC OS installations.




Well, PG Music develops Band in a Box for Macintosh, so obviously they care about the platform, even if you don't, Jim.
It has been observed for the last year that if you combine sales of new desktop computers with tablet computers, Apple is the largest-selling computer manufacturer in the entire world. Of course you know that Apple is the most valuable computer company in the world in terms of the stock market. The iOS platform (including the iPad) is hugely successful, and when I go to jazz gigs today, I see that most of the musicians on the bandstand are reading their charts from an iPad and not from printed pages of music. Things are not what they used to be.
