Well, I don't know about that. The vast majority of people I know use PCs at home. My daughter's class, for example, conducted a survey at the beginning of the school year and the result was something like 8:1 (I think it was 25 PC households and 3 Mac households), which comports pretty well with the overall PC/Mac market share. No, I don't have any numbers to back this up; it's just my own experience. > I do not think that one can equate the number of > Windows-based computers with the number of conservative > voters versus liberal voters. I don't think so either, and that was really my point. All I'm getting at is that I don't believe we can say "Liberals use Macs and conservatives use PCs." That perception may be a side effect of the image created by Apple's marketing (cool people are always liberal, of course), but I'd be surprised if it has any basis in reality. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
