Switchers are always welcome - as long as they behave themselves as good 
Mac users.:-))

Btw. Just seen that Apple now is the largest and most valuable company 
in the USA....

"As of Tuesday’s close Apple had a market value of $336.3-billion, just 
above Exxon Mobil’s $335.1-billion figure." (billion = milliarder)

- Also thinkworthy that Apple is among the few companies that until now 
hasn't lost that much value in the present financial stock crisis...
