@iAirmanshirk: Yah, and most of that "50% of college students" are now on unemployment, or asking, "Do you want fried with that?" or stocking shelves at Wal-Mart. And really, come to think of it, where do you get the figures that 50% of college students are buying Macs? If that was the case, I would think Apple's PC marketshare would be just a teensy bit higher than it is (and it's low).

So... yah, go Mac. Woot.

@BeautifulAgony: While questioning validity, why don't you show how people buying Macs are unemployed?

@D.E.P.C.: Remember this is America now... We have unemployed people buying vacation homes, mini yachts, and small jets for 0 down and 0% for the first 24 months. Throw a mac into the deal? Sure!

@D.E.P.C.: Because according to national statistics, more people between the ages of 18 to 28 are unemployed than employed. Therefor, there are more unemployed college students, then employed college students. Ergo, if 50% of college students are buying Macs, then most of them are also likely unemployed.

Or haven't you been following our economy the past eight years?

Next?

@BeautifulAgony: Maybe 100% of employed people between 18-24 are buying Macs, so the majority of Mac buying college students are employed with a thin minority of unemployed Mac buyers and 100% of non-Mac buyers being unemployed.

(I don't believe or care if this is true, I just got caught up in the math problem.)

@rulerofthemoon: Honestly, all of Grandma's favorite porn wasn't taken with color film anyway, but she misses that old-timey sepia tone. I fixed the problem by smearing the edges of the screen with a Hi-Liter marker...
