Damn! 30 years of rising fast and taking over all of Window’s marketshare and you’d think Apple might be a little further along ...

I wonder what that pie chart would look like if they polled only tech people. Linux would have a much larger slice of the pie.

So Mac has about 7% of the desktop OS market share? I thought I remembered it being 10% many years ago.

I guess tablets are becoming more common at work. I see a handful being used, but as a supplement to a desktop, which everyone has.

We have four Windows computers/laptops at home. The total cost was $1500. How much would Macs have cost? I've never been unable to use any business or graphics program. My latest purchase was an Asus Notebook for $300. I use it for Illustrator and Photoshop on the train. It runs flawlessly. At that price it's disposable.

My teenage girls have had problems with their laptops because they're... clueless. We had to wipe both. I have them save their stuff to the cloud now. They're both back up and running.

How old is that graphic OS X 10.9 has been somewhere around a year...
