It's all Waterloo-Maple's fault, really: if they had maintained a version of their computer algebra system for the Amiga, I wouldn't have found it necessary to switch to Mac. Or maybe it's Commodore's fault for mismanaging themselves into oblivion; I don't know. Either way, I became painfully aware three years ago that my little Amiga would no longer satisfy my computing needs. I needed a new home computer.

mac laptops are really big in the comp sci circles at the college i go to. especially the linux/freebsd crowd. they've just flocked to powerbooks and ibooks. computer science house, where i live, now has almost 13 mac laptop users (probably getting close to 40% of the laptop owners on floor having a mac laptop). i was one of the first to take the plung, and after showing it off around floor all the time more and more people keep buying them to replace either their aging laptop and some have even sold their fairly recent laptops for macs
if apple advertised to our market directly, they'd dominate.
