I am not trying to deny the prevalence of Macs. I was responding to a post of yours that was related to a thread about how many of the laptops that get "lost" in airports are owned by businesses. My point was that it should not be assumed that a goodly number of those "lost" computers were Macs that were owned by businesses and dedicated to business use.
Macs are making somewhat of a dent in the button-down business world, but still not nearly as much of a dent as is being made in the non-business world. I know of a number of folks in the work-a-day business world who have recently obtained, for the first time in their lives, Macintosh computers. However, they did not get them for work. They bought them for personal use, and with their own money, not company funds. They still have their company issued Windows portables that they carry around, but for personal use, they have now put their Windows machines at home in the closet, preferring Macs instead.
