I work at a community college. Well over half the laptops I see
students sitting around with are Macs. ISTR reading a year ago that
Macs dominated the market for college age student/family purchased (as
opposed to college issued - there are some that do) laptops were Macs.
In my social circle (a rather eclectic bunch) I can't recall the last
time (it was over two years ago, that much I know) I saw someone take
out a laptop at an event or party where it was not a Mac. Many of
them also have desktop PC's as gamer machines or older ones converted
to linux. As a pure anecdote at our local rec league soccer signup
two weekends ago they had a pair of Macs running Bento tied into a
roving registrar with a Bento app on his iPhone taking the
registrations. In previous years it was all manual.

I've been doing a lot of traveling lately. I've been using many
airports and ferries. I've also been paying attention to the laptops
people are using. While I know the Mac market share is approaching
10% I found it strange the about 50% of the laptops I saw where
Macs. Could be Mac users just like to travel more?
