[QUOTE="mac57, post: 591936, member: 17052"] Last night, my wife and I headed out to a restaurant we had never been to. I looked up the address on the web, put it into Maps on the iPhone and had it plot our route for us. I was driving so I handed the iPhone to her and asked her to follow our route on Maps and provide me with driving instructions. She had never experienced an iPhone before. You can almost guess the rest... :D We arrived at the restaurant safe and sound and she spent the first ten minutes we were there playing with all the other stuff on the iPhone. She was/is hooked! Suddenly, she can't wait to get herself an iPhone! Cha-ching! Apple racks up another sale by simple virtue of a non iPhone user having a chance to play with one for a bit. The iPhone is its own best advertisement, no doubt. Now, if I could JUST get her to play with a Mac for a while! :D She is a died-in-the-wool PC user. It is not that she loves PC/Windows - she doesn't see any reason to change. Her machine is meeting her needs for now. I keep up an occassional trickle of information about Macs to her. I will step it up a bit once she decides that she needs a new computer, but they may be a while yet I would bet, knowing her. I wonder if I can get a sales commission from Apple? :D [/QUOTE]
