Such misgivings have helped lay the hardest blows on makers of small machines. As the number of personal-computer companies grew from a handful five years ago to more than 180 today, competition became ferocious. Except for a few leaders, the firms are scrambling for shelf space in stores at a time when sales have hit an unexpected lull. Quips Fred Hoar, a former Apple executive and now vice president of Raychem, a specialty chemical company: "The personal-computer industry has reached a new chapter in its history: Chapter...
