It does seem to me that Logic's marketing and distribution has always 
been less than stellar, right from the beginning. It seems it has 
always been hard for dealers to get product in a timely manner, etc. It 
therefore unfortunately has somewhat of a "second class" status as a 
result of this sort retail inertia. It's easier for dealers to get and 
sell Steinberg, Motu, and Cakewalk products.

But despite this, Logic seems to be alive and well and kicking around 
these parts (Eastern Canada). I guess there are regional differences. 
And yes, Apple seems to have more aggressive strategies for getting 
Macs into people's hands more easily in different parts of the world.

A colleague of mine here is setting up and teaching an entry level 
recording program in  the music department of a local college. 
Hopefully he will get Logic and Macs in there one day. But they also 
are currently PC based.
