We now have full evidence to show that a big number of people are starting to show interest in Macs. Nielsen/NetRatings' survey this Friday show that Apple.com "led all computer hardware e-commerce sites with 4.5 million visitors for the week ended Nov. 16, topping Dell Inc.’s Dell.com by 53%"
HP.com came in third place with 2.7 million vistitors, and Gateway finished in fourth with only about half a million (haha).
I speculate that Apple is getting all the visitors from all the advertising and new product releases. Many of these people are probably from Windows folks buying iPods, but some are probably checking out Apple's computers. I'm many people will want to try something new because they're tired of Windows.
(Oh, by the way. I think my new kitten, Henry, is going to buy himself an iPod. 'Cause he sure likes mine. At least he likes to chew on the headphone wires when I'm not looking. I had to start putting it in a drawer cause he always will find it and chew the wires. One bud is already cracked.)

Yeah iKen? cool. We also got two other cats. Pooky and Tuxido Man. They each have their own cat house thingy with their own tiny mac in there. BTW. We named him Tuxido Man cause his fur black and white makes him look like he's wearing a Tux.

just kidding about the tiny macs. But they do each have their own lil cat houses. You know those tall things that are like scratching posts but with platforms all over the place? yeah.

I'm not a big fan of cats... but dogs are delicious! Just kidding, I like cow and chicken and turkey, all of them make great pets.

No question! At CU there are more and more kids using macs instead of PC's. People are starting to get it right!
