Only one. However he's delighted with his iMac. His only complaint was that he hadn't listened to me earlier. My father's PC died last week. For some time now I have dropped subtle (and perhaps not so subtle) hints to buy a Mac if his computer ever needed changing. Of course he went ahead and bought another Dell. When I expressed my disappointment he said "Macs will eventually be bought out by Microsoft so why change?". OK he has ANS (Apple Neurosis Syndrome), but I've heard this so called 'fact' from quite a few people now.

Definitely ANS. (And for personal reasons, I hate Dell more than any other PC vendor.)

I converted two coworkers and one of them was the head server tech. I also got another coworker who first got an iPhone. The funny thing is I never really pushed Macs very hard on them. I really never brought it up unless someone asked about my computer experiences. They even had me bring in my Mac Book Pro. After they found out about duel booting they made their minds up. Today all they ask is about software recommendations.

6 Friends  I kinda regret it. They're always like 'Haha! Your macs old! then saying about PowerPC e.t.c' But the thing is. I'm the one they all come crying to if they have a problem. I'm the mac guru :P Tried to convert the school. In our ICT class the words 'Mac','Apple','Macintosh are all banned. We get a detention if we say them!

I can't get a job. Im 15. Plus. I run my own business at the moment. That is my job. And all money I get isn't going towards a computer. My Mac's are fine. It's how you use them. I dont see any of them running a online business??
