Well, this first statement is the same old chestnut that is always 
debatable. To hear it otherwise, all sorts of higher level geeks and 
former PC and Linux users are now migrating to Macs because they like the 
UNIX underpinnings, and the company is the only one not having severe 
financial troubles. I heard their new stores are doing well, while 
Gateway and Dell had to close some.

As for this statement, where could he possibly get this idea? Maybe he 
would like to come here and haul all the paper junk mail I get each day 
to the dump for me and save my broken back. The only jobs I see in the 
paper are for graphic designers, printing etc. And they get $300 for a 
crappy little amateurish faded color ad in the local coupon book that I 
don't even look at each week. (I only sometimes use it to offer those 
folks a nice website for not much more money -- a much better bang for 
their buck!)
