My wife's parents each bought ipods. Less than six months later they both bought macs.
The coolest things about the ipods is it made it super easy for my 60+ year old in-laws to rip all their cds and sync them to their players. And all this they did without any help from me. Normally I have to hold their hands for all their computer needs. I was really impressed.
The switch from Windows to Mac hasn't been as easy as they hoped but they still like their macs. I'm sure they'll pick it up soon enough.
