I got my sister (mac mini) and her fiance (powerbook) to switch to apple this year and they\'re happy.  Looks like this may be part of a bigger trend of users dumping their windows pc\'s for macs.

No doubt Apple is experiencing an iPod \"halo effect,\" whereby rising popularity of the digital-music player is reviving interest in Apple\'s other products.\ \ But Windows users are also moving to the Mac in increasing numbers for other reasons. Among them: the perception that Mac users suffer less from the daily irritants of viruses, spyware, and worms.
