Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

SALES of software for personal computers in Western Europe were worth dollars 444m for the second quarter of 1994. This represents a 15 per cent increase on the previous year. Windows- based programs grabbed the single biggest chunk of the market, with sales exceeding dollars 380m. Macintosh and Dos applications split the remainder of the market. For the first half of 1994 sales of Windows applications increased by 30 per cent, Dos fell by 28 per cent and sales of Macintosh applications fell by 1 per cent.
