when I go by an Apple store it is full of people, young and old. now that Mac has boot-camp and crossover etc. you will see a lot of people switching to Mac! I expect OS 10.5 to be the deciding factor for a lot of “switchers” including me. my last horrible experience with HP support convinces me that the PC for many users is about to end. Mac does cost more, but if you use it for 5 years and it works well, its not that expensive!

One could reasonably say that Apple’s recent success is due to the platform provided by …

oops.

I am seriously considering making my next laptop a Mac, but I ain’t no fanboy. Apple’s recent success being enabled by Windows makes Jobs’ snarky comments seem a bit stupid.

#44, Simon, there is a dead zebra on the floor on the bottom right of the frame.

Nice find. Even non-sentients get p*ssed when they find out their iPhone has been “bricked.”
