So the Pepsi/iTunes giveaway ended last night at 11:59 PM and I managed to cash in on 19 free tunes with the help of my friend Ian who contributed four of his Pepsi caps to my haul. Ian's an unbeliever, in iTunes anyway. He'll come around and see the light someday.

My PeeCee friends are dropping like flies of late buying up elegant hunks of Apple gear that they previously referred to as overpriced toys. First comes the iPod because you can still be a card carrying Wintel user and carry an iPod with dignity while using the PC version of iTunes. This is an example of Apple marketing brilliance. PC users fall in love with their iPods and start thinking, "Hey, that iBook looks pretty nice..." Next thing you know they're buying Cinema Displays and attending Mac User Group meetings standing up and saying, "Hi, my name's __________ and I'm a former PC user."

A recent article linked here puts Apple's market share between 8 and 12 percent instead of the tech industry accepted 2 percent with an estimated 35 million OS X users out there.

Oh yeah, I curse the attachment clicking PC users with my e-mail in their address book every time I get a freaking virus containing e-mail not because I'm vulnerable but because I know it didn't come from a Mac.

STOP CLICKING ON ATTACHMENTS!
