I'd disagree on Macs regaining their popularity - which was originally
based within the graphic-design and CAD industry's requirement for their
much higher display resolution. Today the PC can match the Mac's display
resolution. Couple that with the much wider choice of software (and
resulting lower cost) and, IMHO, Apple have a difficult if not
impossible task in catch-up.
