Apple is only lucky because they got the consumers hooked with the iPod's ability to load a bunch of songs easily and take them around. Then, like Band-Aids, the consumers got the word "iPod" to replace (as Apple hoped) the word "MP3 player".

However, I am on my 2nd (and probably soon a would-be-third if it wasn't for Creative!) and my sister is on her 2nd. They don't last long enough and they are expensive as hell.

But yet, despite the iPod's success, Apple can't (and never will) convince PC users that Macs are better. You can't game on a Mac very easily from my experience. Get a decent priced Mac that can game and I am sure the amount of Mac's sold will increase 200%. :p


Peace

I'm on my third lol

I've had an iPod since 2002. Never had one issue with it. In fact, it's still going strong. You must not treat yours with enough care.

Plus, you can't really rate a computer by how well it can 'game'. If that's the case, then the new macs already win because they run Windows better than an actual PC. Games are not the end all and be all of how good a computer is. Sure, Windows might be better for games, but Macs are better for creativity (music, videos, web design, photos, etc). The graphic capability of a mac is far superior, which is why all major studios use them.
