Hi Gregory. I think you are right about the demographics of mac users shifting over the past few years. It’s so different than a decade ago, and I think the iPhone/iPad had a lot to do with it.

Thanks for stopping by!

I used to always say to my friends who lauded Macs: great if you’re a designer, not so much if you’re in business. I think that’s really shifted in the last few years — at least for individuals (most institutions are stuck). Macs have gained enough market share to make it financially sound for more third parties to develop software for them. I was able to replace MS OneNote with a product called Curio — which I love. And the presence of Microsoft Office for Mac eliminated the biggest hurdle to switching.

I was dealing with one of my office PCs yesterday, spent 10 minutes dealing with software updates that wouldn’t take, etc. Was a nice reminder of why we switched.

Thanks for the sharing Craig! I too am curious if Apple can produce without Steve Jobs.

I worked over at Microsoft for two years, so was forced to use the dreaded PC 🙁 Once you go Mac you never go back, for good reason. The beauty and ease of the interface (part of the customer experience, check!), the great design, and now with a Unix-based system, the things never crash. We also have a PC at home, because we need it for other reasons, but I hate dealing with the thing.

Love the story about the DVD-burning software program. Wonder how long Apple can keep innovating without him?

Adam i would like to thank you also for making this blog. Good job:)

Agreed Ana. Once you work with an Apple for awhile, it is hard to go back.

You are right Anish. Jobs was a master at creating products that made customers want to talk about them — almost all had buzz behind them.
