When I logged on to apple.com and bought my first Apple computer, a MacBook Pro, a little more then 2 years ago, I got a free iPod nano with a rebate.

Previous studies have indicated that statistically, Mac households were better educated and have higher incomes. Anecdotally, in the recent two to three years, I've had more "newbies" to the Mac platform approach me for assistance / advice then in all of the previous years combined.
