How many people switched to Macs because of you so far?!

[XheartcoreboyX]

so i got my mbp first mac before like a couple of weeks..and i made my 23years brother who is a REAL mac hater to buy a 2000$ mabook pro XD..
he saw me using it many times and he dare that it will have a ''grey screen of death'' in 2 days or i will just return it to the apple store.. but nothing of that happenes..so he got a mbp..and guess what..he gave his hp laptop to his friend!! really! so i feel proud now haha..

what about you?? did you make anyone buy a MAC ?

 

[dukebound85]

i dont go out of my way to tell people to get one as i simply do not care what they do with their money. i get macs because i like them pure and simple.

so with that i have no idea how many people i may or may not have influenced to get a mac. be cool if i did though without me trying lol

i didnt actually tell him to get one,he noticed that i dont get ANY freezes even when opening lots of software the same time..he have a cd2 new hp laptop aswell..and its going to the store every 2days..so he though he would give it a shot..and he's very happy with his mac now-so am i!- ...i beleive that every mac user effects on the jealous friends/relatives

I don't actively advocate that people switch, but I have had exactly three people in my circle buy a Mac after seeing mine in action. I also think number four is pending. He is completely in love with the new iMac and has been "hanging out" at the Apple Store.

UPDATE: Number four is a done deal. He just bought a new 20" iMac. I also sold one to my brother last night, so put me down for five total.

742 and counting.

 

[steamboat26]

So far, only 1 but i have been trying to convince others

 

[KD7IWP]

Since I do tech support at my College, I influence a lot of buyers, so probably about 15 Switchers.

 

[Aperture]

About 3.

 

[chriswheat]

As with the others, I don't try to "sell" the mac. I just use it. If they like it when they see me use it, they buy it. I can count about 10 people who have switched to macs after seeing mine in the last 4 years since I switched.

 

[RainCityMacFan]

I influenced one (even though I don't even have a Mac, used one for couple years...).

I just told him my legendary encounter w/ the garbage pile named Vista and his mom decided they are probably going to switch lol...

Now my other friends think Macs do have better features and is more stable...

 

[A Pittarelli]

i have sold 14 people on macs so far, i try if people are interested i give them the sales pitch. i want a referal program so i can start getting some srt of a kickback for selling computers

I got my mom to want an iMac, so my stepdad could buy it for her on her birthday. I also think I got this one lady who sat next to me on the plane back from Florida to get one. She said she wanted to replace her Windows 98 computer so I just showed her the cool stuff about it and she said she was probably gonna get one. I might have also inadvertently convinced some other people too.

 

[CourtneyA1]

3 people so far, including my mom who got the new iMac this weekend and loves it.

I just tell people, I don't know how to fix viruses or want to know how to get rid of a Trojan Horse, so I have a mac.

"My Mac makes me look smart!"

 

[Father Jack]

9 so far, the latest one (two weeks ago) was my Father in law ....

 

[yoyo5280]

The rest of my family.

 

[hopejr]

About 6 or 7, but only if they ask me, or see how good my macs run. Trying to evangelise got negative responses, however I drop hints with my mates .

 

[dextertangocci]

At least 50. seriously..

 

[Kamera RAWr]

At least one, the guy who bought my 15" CD MBP. It was his first Mac. I do know that I have got many people interested in Macs, but don't know if they have or will buy Macs.

On an interesting note, to me anyway, in an office completely full of Windows PCs, the president of our company has a PB He likes how stable Macs are.

 

[xUKHCx]

I think 9 people or there abouts.

 

[Joshua8o8]

i got about four peopoe to switch. Two cousins my mom and an uncle.

Same here!

I've managed to convince my boss I work better on one
plus my bro and my mate so that's 3

 

[AdeFowler]

Just the one - kind of. I helped my neighbour make the switch but didn't encourage him. Just told him the pros and cons and left him to decide. I am now his tech support
