PCs rotting on the shelves is a nonsense statement. I believe PCs out sell Macs like 30 to 1. I will bet your friend is a Mac-head and is applying a little Mac-Wishful-Thinking but I am just guessing. You also said that no one wants to buy Compac (its Compaq BTW) and HP computers in your city I am willing to guess that statement was complete Mac-Wishful-Thinking (see Nonsense) and you have absolutely no data to back up this claim. I will bet if you got a hold of the sales data from the Staples store in question you would be very surprised. Successful nation-wide stores like Staples dont sell Macs for very good business reasons.
My trusty iMAC computer does just what I want it to do with 99% up time, with virtually no failures after years of experience with four Macs.
Groovy.
If you like PCs, that's just fine.
Gee, thanks. And if you like your Mac, thats just fine.
Can Mac people talk about their computers without mentioning Windows? I don't think so.
