I'm repeatedly asked by computer 'newbies' or switchers what sort of computer they should buy. I should add that most of my clients are 50+. The answer to their queries is simple - Mac!

I've found that most inquirers don't like or want hard sell, so it got me to thinking: "how can I simplify the reasons why people should choose Mac?" Why not use the alphabet? Until now I've kept it to four letters only - p, q, r, s - representing price, quality, reliability, security (the first one might raise eyebrows :| ).

So, creative thinkers, let's make a Mac alphabet. Plagiarize all you like, this is for fun (and thanks bigsuv for your post 'Why do you think Macs are so great?' - it got me going).
Suggestion only ...
A = Adaptability
B =
