I guess I was most amazed that in 1991 Apple's profits were greater than Microsoft's. I was playing Ultima 6 and King's Quest V back then... I didn't know anything existed but the IBM PC.

Office came out in 1990 and took a while to take over. MS-DOS wasn't as profitable as Windows would be.

Their margin was certainly higher. Macs were brutally expensive around that time. It was no trick at all to drop $10,000 on a high-end Mac system.
