If Steve Jobs had called the Insider's sister after their night together, would they still hate Apple so much???

    I don't believe the Inquirer, aka Register, hates Apple, but is rather fond of Apple. Some articles have stated that many of them personally use Macs all the time. They will poke fun at Apple at times, as do I.

    The MacBook and MacBook Pro are for the younger crowd, the other half of Apple's customer base, with good eyesight.

    But a lot of collage students own macs (young), and a lot of professors own macs (old).



    There is a flaw with the Inquirer's argument. They say advertising dollars would be better spent advertising to older folks, but that would just be preaching to the choir. You advertise to the people who are NOT as likely to buy macs.
