OK, I'm a grandpa & use a Mac
I did use PCs from the days of DOS through XP and switched my
business laptop at the peak of malware several years ago - I
simply didn't want to worry about problems on an overseas
business trip.

To be honest, I'm at the point in my life where I don't want to
worry about being IT oriented, just like I don't want to worry
about working on the family cars. The Mac works very well in
that environment and VPC+2000 Pro handles the small Windows
apps I have to use.

Personally I think there are probably a lot of PC guys who would
be very happy to have their older parents (or grandparents)
using a Mac so they can reduce the time they spend taking care
of their computers.

By the way, the Mac also works well for my 5 year old
granddaughter, who has been using it since she was 3.
