    convince people that its OK for your computer to lock up 5 times a day, because it has a smiley face and a translucent mouse.

    btw

    macs only appear to be a success because they sell products to the *same* people. the crappy new iMac will almost only be bought be existing iMac owners.

    i suspect that the actual number of mac owners hasn't gone up that much.

    the only reason PC are more successful is IMHO they're a hell of lot cheaper. it certainly isn't because of ease of use of the OS.
