I think the one time someone commented about my Powerbook was when I was waiting at the airport and some guy we were sitting next to said something about it. He said he saw a lot more Apple laptops in the Bay Area than elsewhere, which probably explains why I don't get any comments in my day-to-day in-town activities.
 
You, sir, are The Man.

I try my best. Actually, with this particular family it was easy. I switched one of them, and in less than a year the entire family switched to Macs. Their main reason? No viruses. They couldn't believe it until they saw it for themselves. They also loved iLife. A few of them are total GarageBand addicts, not to mention iTunes. They all had their iPods and when they saw how those worked with Macs, that was just one more reason.
