    Top 10 is not good enough. We're aiming for the BEST, if not
    world-wide, at least in the computer industry.

    Biting my tongue, because what I want to say wouldn't be at ALL
    constructive!

968.5That's all there was.JAWJA::GRESHSubtle as a BrickWed Nov 08 1989 12:1213
    You know as much as I do.  The entire news clip was entered in 968.0.
    
    The criteria for selection seems to have been the opinion of a set
    of industry experts.  I do not know Who? or How many? or what basis
    of comparison was used.
    
    The Top 10 listing is strictly alphabetical.  (Apple is not necessarily
    numer 1, etc.)
    
    re. "Biting my tongue" ... see if you can find a constructive way
        to phrase your reply.  I'd like to hear it.
