Everything Apple: Apple holds 6.1% US computer market share

Apple has climbed to the #4 postion in the US with over six percent of the US computer market share.

Everything Apple: Apple holds 6.1% US computer market share

Judging from the way I saw high school aged kids crowding around the Macs the last time I was at an Apple store, that number could climb a bit more before the end of the Christmas shopping season.

Parents tend to want the best for their kids.

They like educational gifts that help their kids get smarter.

They do not like high maintenance gadgets because the duty of fixing - or paying to fix them - rolls back on them.

Macs do not require an IT department, hundred dollar trips to the Geek Squad at Best Buy to do backups or delousing, and weekend afternoons spent scraping the ads and bugs off the disk.

No wonder the Mac keeps eating up the PC market share.

I wonder when the overhang in the home market will spill over onto the business market.

Two more PC disasters and one more Mac killer app should just about do it.
