It has yet to reach that level again. What saved Apple as a company was the iPod. Speaking of the 90’s, Mac’s sales peaked at 13% of total PC sales in 1994 then went into a rather steep decline.

As for the Unix under-the-hood thing, as a Linux user and scripter, I can tell you the Mac Terminal is a castrated way of issuing Unix commands, lacking many useful ones you'd get on a real Unix. What else? Oh, plus you're tied to use Apple's ridiculously overpriced and mediocre hardware, as well as being tied to what is ultimately a closed source OS. And in this regard, Apple is just as greedy as MS, perhaps greedier.

After years of not owning a mac, I finally bit the bullet with an intel core 2 duo MacBook Pro... I'm regretting it ever since. OS X can't compete with windows in any other way than casual OS use. I'm sorry mac fanboys and girls, I know both sides far too well, and a mouse-oriented OS gui can't compete with a keyboard driven OS like Windows XP/Vista; I’m an avid Mac user (since 1993) and a PC junkie.

Personally as a Mac user for the last 12 years, I still shy away from the attention I get from putting my Macbook on the table or even walking in to an Apple Store. I feel like people stereotype me as one of those Apple FanBoys which has been given a really bad rap from all the people you have written this article for. I don't want to be associated with one of those dorks that just go out and buy the newest Jobs Gadget because he's our savior (angel's sing). I want to by a Mac because it's the best. I don't care about Apple's market share or stock price, I just want to be sure that my OS works better than the other guys', Ives is doing his best design work and the R&D department at Cupertino is forging forward with breath taking advancements in the personal computer industry as they had done in the years prior to the iPod's take over of the company.

Why don't we just humbly admire macs instead of engaging in a fight with windows users. For me, I'd rather be friend with them and tell them how good a mac is. Doing this, they're likely able to listen with open minds and not fighting back. Peace out! I really like what you said in #4. that’s what I mostly found in the discuss between mac and windows.

As my friends started to use my computer more and more, to play iTunes, internet and more, they became familiar with it and all of a sudden I no longer got the looks that I did a few years before. Next thing you know Im getting calls about, which model laptop should they be buying and where is the best place to buy a mac (in Vancouver). I have always said Apple has the best sales team in the world, and that is mac users themselves.

A few months ago, my iBook started to make some pretty serious noises when I tried to turn it on during a lecture. Of course the guy next to me with the 20-pound Dell laptop says "That's why I don't use Macs. They're so unreliable." Turns out my travel coffee mug leaked a wee-bit in my bag and there was minor fluid damage. The geniuses had it up and running in a day. I'm sure the Dell guy's laptop would have exploded or something. #1 is so true! A few months ago, my iBook started to make some pretty serious noises when I tried to turn it on during a lecture.
