I am assuming that for the majority of switchers the first Apple product was an iPod. It is like the gateway drug to the Apple lifestyle!!

True. But their first taste of the Mac OSX is probably nothing like anything they've had before

yeah, osx was really what got me to switch. my school's computer lab has macs and windows machines and one day i decided to play around on a mac. then every time i needed to use the lab i went over to the mac side and i really got to liking osx. i think if more people got a chance to use macs there would be more switchers.

OK - first thing - I'm old. My first Apple product was a Apple][ + with the extra 16k card to take it up to a wopping 64 k and the 80 column display. Bought new in 1981 when I graduated from college. I had a Mac 512 that I expanded to 1 M (when you had to buy the special screwdriver just to open the case) and it was a big day when I got the 10 Meg Hard Drive. I've had 3 Newtons. Had a Mac II. Then a Mac IIcx. Then a Quadra 800. Couple of Duos with Docs. Everything stopped after OS 9, because I have to work in a Windoze world. I've just gotten a Mac Mini Dual Core. I'm back !

My first Apple product was a dead 3rd gen iPod, which I brought in January this year.
I had wanted one for years, but I couldn't afford a new one, so I brought a new hard drive and battery and fixed it up and it works great now. I also brought my first Mac computer, a G3 iMac.
I plan to get a 60GB iPod later this year and 15" MacBook Pro for Uni next year.
