It is rather strange. Even in Cupertino, I've not seen a single one. I
heard that Apple is going to give each employee an iPhone soon, so when
that happens I'm sure I'll see more around.
I remember last May my daughter was working on an iMovie at school, and
wanted to work on it MovieMaker then convert it to iMovie format, which
would require a Mac (there's a way around this, but it's complicated and
doesn't work all that well). I realized I did not know a single person
around here with a Mac. Strange. My nephew who freelances doing Final
Cut Pro editing for studios offered to let us go down to LA to use his
Mac. I was waiting for Leopard, or at least a free upgrade to Leopard
before buying a Mac, and was disappointed that they pushed it out so far.
