I recommended macs to my two sisters, Sabrina and Christine. They are smart ladies but when it comes to computers well let's just say it's bad. They were always calling me and it was getting old. So when they asked me last year what they should buy for their next upgrade I recommended macs to them. They have macbooks. So far so good. Macs are the "people" computer like the volkswagon, that's how I like to compare them. Easy to use. Proof . . . even my two sisters are happy and I haven't had a call for help yet (going on 3 months now). My sis Sabrina well her husband is a doctor and he will not allow her to touch his pc. He has a den/library/home office where he conferences with other doctors on patients and his pc and other computer equipment is strictly forbidden to her. But he had a pc just for her use and she was just having a time with it. I told John to get her a mac. So now side by side is his elaborate setup next to her macbook. I should have her take a picture it's hilarious! Hey it works for both of them!
I even recommended the mac to my mother-in-law. I don't know if she bought one yet but I told her for her that's the way to go.
