If I was in college now I'd definitely be buying a Mac. I bought my first Mac last year, but as a college kid I would've made the switch long before.

This based on the latest results from RBC's technology adoption survey, which he says translate to "massive Mac sales... demonstrating resilience despite a sluggish consumer spending environment." What's helping? Among other factors: Apple's back-to-school promotion for college students that offers a free iPod touch -- $299 value -- with qualifying Mac purchase.

Are their parents buying them? Does that question make me sound old?

Wish I'd had a laptop when I was in uni. 

I buy my own... this will be the third summer I buy a mac...

Me too.

I really started using Macs my last year of high school when I did a lot of video editing then bought my iMac when I started university two years ago.

neither of you saw it come that long ago to this scale...

Haha, that didn't answer my question.

Anyway, I just filled out an some sort of form then tore up the carbon stuff that's inbetween the pages now my hands are all black and so is my beige hat.
