I have been a Mac fan since 1996, including the dark time when Mac was struggling and was close to bankruptcy before Steve Jobs came back. When he came back, Apple roared right back afterwards, starting with the colorful i-Mac, Power Mac G4 Towers, and then the iPods.

But Apple has gone far and wide more now around the world thanks to those iPods and iPhones.

Hmmm... I’m the outcast in my family...

My stepmother bought an iMac back in February, and she loves it (except for missing the Windows “Spider Solitaire!”)

My stepsister’s home is a multi-Mac home. They’ve got 2 MacBooks and a 24” iMac. They also have a Sony Windows computer, but that’s required by my stepsister’s work.

My stepbrother has an iMac.

I only dream of an iMac, although the executive floor at work is getting more and more of them. Given that I’m a Windows network admin, I don’t see myself getting a MacBook at work anytime soon, and I really don’t need any more computers right now, so I can’t justify buying one, no matter how much I want one. Oh, and if I do get one, I’ll be getting VMware Fusion along with it...

I realize that this is a Mac "cult" article and post, but would it really hurt their delusional tendencies that much to mention who are #s 1 through 3?

Actually, it isn't. The article's authors do statistical analysis by company. Numbers 1 through 3 will have similar articles focusing on their placement in the market. This article is like an abstract... a hint of what's in the full article. The information you want is probably included in the main article which the sell for an exorbitant load of money.
