    macs only appear to be a success because they sell products to the *same* people.

    You're simply wrong. According to Apple, of all the people who bought iMacs, 40% of them had never owned a computer of any kind before.

    Sure, it's Apple saying that, so consider the source. But despite the apparent prevailing attitude on Slashdot, big companies are not in the habit of out-and-out lying in their marketing materials. There's obviously a grain of truth to the statement.
