I wonder if there's a bunch of statistics out there on mac users.
I would be curious to see what the male:female ratio is. I was at my apple store last night and I didn't see very many women come in, though one of the staff members was female....
Anyone have any numbers?

Scott, yes. I believe I read in the parent contract thingee that all parents get a free TiPB. Check the fine print
As for number of users male vs. female, I can vouch for my office. We're 100% Mac at the office (85% female), and the majority use Macs when they go home. The exception is about 10 women who use peecees at home because their husbands have them. In the general population, I've found that the percentage of women using Macs is slightly (very slightly) higher than the percentage of women that use peecees, however, both are teeny tiny percentages when compared to men (we're talking real users, not just the email, christmas card list types). I attribute the slightly higher than peecee thing to the fact that mac's always been the artist/designer's tool of choice, and that field is skewed slightly towards women.
Plus, it's not at all being a girl geek. Sure, you meet a lot of guys, usually pretty smart guys, but the workplace is still a tough nut to crack. I frequently get the "oh, isn't that cute! the girl's gonna set up our network! okay, honey, where are the guys that will really be doing the work?"
It gets old, and a lot of my fellow(?) females have dropped out of the game.

softer than ever!
Just say "Go f*** yourself"
It feels good.
On the same topic, most of the producton managers I work with are women and they handle most of the on site tech stuff without question. I just go on site for the bigger stuff, or to stay employed
Edited: Cause I thought I was somewhere else and used nasty language
