System statistics debate

Gentlemen,

Perhaps I can calm the waters a little by pointing out that the
statistical claims made by Sinclair regarding the ZX and Spectrum
computers were quite probably true AT THAT TIME. Numbers have a habit of
changing over time especially when companies go bankrupt. So any such
claims must always be considered in the context that they were made.

I would presume that the IBM PC and its clones probably handily wins the
statistical race today, but we can always hope that that will change in
the future ;-)
