Mac Users Buy More CDs
A market research firm confirms what we’ve known all along; Mac users are music snobs, too.
“32% of Mac users reported buying CDs in the third quarter of this year, compared with 28% of PC users.”
See? Blame those lame PC users for all those record label layoffs.

And what’s the average age of the mac user vs pc user?
I hate statistic items like this as there are many simple explanations behind it.
You can pretty much skew any statistic the way you want.

The Lime Spider closed? WTF, that blows. I made the trek from the south of the state to the north of the state a couple of times to see shows at the Lime Spider. I loved that place.

No the problem is that Mac users cant figure out how to right click to “save as” because their computers dont come with a right click button.

yeah, you can set up the newish mac mouse to either right and left click, or just left click. or you can just use a non-mac mouse, which never looks as cool. but personally, i’m not a huge fan of the mighty mouse. you always have to be sure to click on the far, far right of the mouse to get the right click, or sometimes it’ll count as a left click.
