I don't know if I really want to buy a new Mac now. With all the lies and bashing the Mac Zealots seem to constantly do - is it worth it?

Market share facts from the new Mac Zealot Bible;

Summary:

Mac woldwide market share Q1'07 = 2.41%

Mac woldwide market share Q2'07 = 2.88%

Mac woldwide market share Q3'07 = 3.15%

Mac woldwide market share Q4'07 = 3.05%

Mac woldwide market share Q1'08 = 3.21%

Q1'07 comparted to Q1'08

Mac gain in worldwide market share = 0.8%

So are you going to compare that gain in market *share* to gains in the PC market *units* again?
