Just seen this pic, and if true, it's a great time to be holding AAPL!

Holy.....!

I can only see TWO non-Macbooks in that pic.....and I'm not even sure that those might not just be some sort of case or applied skin...


Think I'll buy another couple shares next week!

Might have something to do with this:
The MU School of Journalism organized the conference as a founding member of the Apple Digital Campus initiative, a partnership that includes Stanford, Duke, Penn State and The Ohio State University.

Damn non-conformists! "We just want to be different."

Whatever.

That pictures puts a smile on my face. I have taken a lifetime's worth of razzing over using Macs. I have never seen that many in one place.

I was watching MSNBC Morning Joe a while back and Joe Scarborough was talking about his son and all his sons friends. Apparently the kids came over to his house after school and they all had Apple laptops. He said something about Apple "owning the market."

I think that a lot of people are jumping to the wrong conclusion that this is a typical class. Anyone notice that the vast majority of the machines are MacBook Pros? I see a few black MacBooks but none of the white models.

"Students are encouraged to acquire wireless laptop technology from Apple, which the School has designated as its preferred provider, but students also will have a choice of a Windows-based alternative. Last year, 99.5 percent of incoming students chose the Apple option."

That is a lot of 'books. I think a Powerbook get together at MWSF had close to that many. It is at least double the number of laptops that ever showed up for any Mac User Group meeting I have attended.

It looks like that the 15 inch screen model is the most popular one.

Another way to look at this is that people are just like sheep. In the past, when people were told to buy Wintel machines they bought Wintel machines, now, at this school they're told that the school recommends Apple machines so they buy Apple.
