Hi everybody!

Im a mac user myself and i am a student which is currently writing my exam paper on persuasion and influence. In order to make good paper i have though of solving a problem solution which is based on how Organizations can use different influence tactics in order to make brand-fans joing certain communities.
Soooo, then i was thinking of Apple Mac which is one of the worlds largest communities, and a strong one too!

I was hoping in being able to ask you a few questions (posted below) in order to make my paper even better and based on true Mac-fans and their opinions!

I hope someone will be able to take a couple of minutes in oder to comment on these questions!

Thank you so much!
