Well...
while I was in school, I worked part time as a Apple sales type... I
sold a lot of people on the Mac.  Why?  because it is easy to learn
how to use the beaste.  

Also, nobody that I have introduced to the mac has ever (willingly)
gone back to the pc... (well, I do know ONE person who prefers the
pc... but then, his dad has worked for Big Blue for ever, and he was
pretty wierd too -- (Hi Shelly Blumstein!)).

Looking at Apple's ever increasing portion of the market v IBM, I'ld
say that this was about the best research that your going to get.
It's pretty conclusive... also, the people who are buying IBMs &
clones have either not used a Mac or are constrained by price.
