I'm based in Mumbai, India. Got an ibook G4 and a 17" iMac Intel Core Duo. I buy macs inspite of the fact that Apple pricing and service suck in India.

there should be though. For Oxford there is a small Apple shop in Eynsham called Oxford Macintosh Solutions, it is OK, though I have only bought stuff from the Apple online store not them.

It just made me laugh (and feel identified), so I wanted to play along 😱 😛 . I voted the right option, though
France at the current time. We see around quite a lot of iPods, and some people with a Mac. When you compare, Apple is definitely more present in the USA. France doesn't have a single Apple Store yet. And a Mac is sometimes seen as a luxury product.

I'm a Brit, but I work in Saudi for about 9 months of the year. I have 1 colleague (American) on my camous with a MAC (PBG4) and Know of a Canadian on another campus who also has a Mac (PBG4 also). Plus I know one student here who has a MacMini. Apparenlty ARAMCO, the state oil company is awash with Macs, so my students tell me.
I know one shop which sells Macs, Office One in Al-Khobar, but this only has a couple of G4 towers, an old-plastic framed-cinema display and that's about it.
When not in Saudi I am in Brazil where I know one person with a G4 Tower, and only this year found a Mac reseller, Fnac in Paulista SP. However, I did notice this year that Mac Apple was getting a lot of exposure in the print media in Brazil. The big problem there is that Macs are way out of the price range of most Brazillians. I believe, though I may well be wrong, that there is an Apple strore in a kind of super boutique called Deslu in Sao Paulo. This is a sotre which sells Louis Vuitton and has a helipad on the roof, so you can see where Apple is pitched.
Other than this I am all by myself. However, my parents were so impressed with my 17" MBP thet they are about to buy an iMac.

Out of interest, are you trying to find out whether or not your site still has a market after your country's latest anti online gambling legislation?

The uni students Ive spoken to all seem to talk down on Apple. I must be talking to wrong people 😕 I remember a very drunken conversation in Lloyds talking about Macs 🙄

I never said I had forgotten the Graphic design. I said the people who I knew who used Macs were Music Pros. 😉 At Lincoln College, ALL the computers there are Dells. Slightly irritating.
When I did Graphic Design for GCSE, we used PC Machines, again, was quite irritating.
