Indeed! Apple's genius was their educational support 20 yrs. ago. But not just this Giving tons of Apples to schools got that generation of kids enamored with Apple products. My mom was one of the first teachers in her district to get an Apple PC in her grade school classroom. She couldn't divide fractions but she was a great K through 2nd grade teacher where her math / tech skills were not challenged, a perfect target for Apple marketing. She and my father bought Macs for their home up until they died and us kids could never get them to switch to PCs where we could help them. They were convinced it was easier to use a Mac despite we could do more with lower cost PCs. I still shake my head many years later....
