This is quite simple, all you have to do is tell us some stats concerning your mate. The goal is to see how well we Mac users are at converting the ones we love.

I’ve had her sit down and use the Mac to see if she has a preference. But she’s like me.  She doesn’t notice any real difference.

If she has read ANY of your posts here she wouldn’t dare say otherwise.
