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; http://marketshare.hitslink.com/report.aspx?qprid=10&qpmr=24&qpdt=1&q... al=1&qptimeframe=M&qpsp=110 March 7.48% April 7.38%
Yup. Statistics fluctuate, that's why there are such things as margins of error, confidence intervals, etc.
But the overall trend is unmistakable:
Apple's share of overall web usage is going slowly but steadily up.

And that chart supports my claim.
Get your eyes checked.
-- "The iPhone doesn't have a speaker phone" -- "I checked very carefully" -- "I checked Apple's web pages" -- Edwin on the iPhone "It is Mac OS X, not BSD.' -- 'From Mac OS to BSD Unix." -- "It's BSD Unix with Apple's APIs and GUI on top of it' -- 'nothing but BSD Unix' (Edwin on Mac OS X) '[The IBM PC] could boot multiple OS, such as DOS, C/PM, GEM, etc.' -- 'I claimed nothing about GEM other than it was available software for the IBM PC. (Edwin on GEM) 'Solaris is just a marketing rename of Sun OS.' -- 'Sun OS is not included on the timeline of Solaris because it's a different OS.' (Edwin on Sun)
