I think that's distant history.    In a recent Issue of Mac Design 
magazine they did a report from PMA cpmplaining that Mac was ignoring 
digital photography.    And CNet Magazine recently noted that Apple's 
relationship with Adobe has cooled considerably and Adobe has 
discintinued support for some of its products on Apple platforms.
Also, when I read Communication Arts I see far more references to PC 
than Apple products.    I know lots of serious digital photographers 
with DSLR's and film scanners and NONE of them have Apples.

So I agree that in the old days Apple dominated that market but I 
don't see the evidence it does anymore.   In the old days Lotus 
dominated the word processing and spreadsheet market too.  How many 
people still use Ami Pro and Lotus 1-2-3?
