97% to 2% market share! However, macs will increase cause normal people are quite stupid and don't want to learn anything. Most people get angry when they can't double click correctly something that is the most easiest thing on the planet to do.

I would love to try out Apple, but they're just too high-priced for me and don't suit my needs enough.

I'll switch to Apple once it becomes convienent. Not enough games/programs are out on Apple.<--(Might be wrong there)

I wish I could play with Macs myself more too. But I already have everything in PC and I dont have the $$$ to afford a Mac.

But man do I want a nice Power Book one day!!!!!

Macs start at $500 new and can be bought refurbed much cheaper. And although you don't have all the games, the ones worth playing are available on Mac, and yes, there is plenty of software...

I'm also a Mac convert ever sense my Dad purchased a Powermac a little while back. Just bought an iBook the other month for "college" and it's set in stone that I'll never purchase another Windows machine ever.

I'm a convert from last year, tho at home I have alot of pcs at work we use mac and right now I just got an upgraded g5! the quad g5 its bitching when I have quark, photoshop, illiustrator, and ripping something to the quickset plat for the press. I hope within the next couple of months I am trying to get a 15" powerbook, to replace my current 17" since it is Slow for rendering and which i need to do at home. As for games I dont play any other than starcraft which is modded for tiger, anyway.

I'm a convert too, though, I have an XP laptop.

I loved using the Macs at my school for everything. I hate how Windows, when a program fails u gotta restart the PC, but on a Mac, you just close the program and re open it. Macs are so much better

Mac OS runs a linux kernel. It is like linux except not as ugly/useless.
