HAVE A DAY.
<--- Quote by Former U.S. President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt
"And there will be strange events in the skies--signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And down here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near!" --Luke 21:25-28
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, all the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with him forever. --1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 -

ZDNet polls have a history of being rigged (companies that are the subject of the polls email out a memo saying to vote a certain option). I'm not just saying this, it's been proven to have happened with companies before (Microsoft is the big one off the top of my head).
Take everything you read from online polls with a grain of salt.
What you should be looking at is how Apple has just faced a steep decline in demand for their computers, how their marketshare has dropped to 3.9% worldwide from 5.xx% 5 years ago..."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I have to concur that Apple's market share has dramatically fallen. They can't keep up.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)Comment

But given Apple's sales of late, it's probably just as well that it's saving its major hardware updates for better days. The iMac may have looked like a hit when it first launched earlier this year; apparently that's not quite the case. Apple conceded in its third-quarter earnings report on July 16 that sales of the machine were not living up to expectations, which, given the fact that iMac sales accounted for about 29% of Apple's revenue in the quarter, is not good news."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Yeah, 5 YEARS AGO! This is here and now. Today. Or rather recently, to be precise.

Erhm, he said it fell from 5-6% (five years ago) to 3.9% today. He is talking about today. And it is still falling.Yeah, 5 YEARS AGO! This is here and now. Today. Or rather recently, to be precise. Just look at the date on ZDnet.

Ouch.Apple Earnings Slide, Outlook Cautious
By Peter Henderson
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Apple Computer Inc. (NasdaqNM:AAPL - News) on Tuesday reported a 48 percent slide in quarterly earnings and issued a cautious outlook for the current quarter in a blow to the financial recovery it began last year."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

And some hard numbers for you about Apple's market share, from Time magazine: http://www.time.com/time/covers/1101020114/cover2.html
But Apple's annual revenues have dropped from $8 billion to less than $6 billion, and the company continues to lose market share to the Microsoft-Intel-dominated world. A little more than 4% of new PCs sold in the U.S. are Macs. (Don't ask about worldwide sales, where Apple has actually slipped to less than 3% of the market, from 5.2% five years ago.) With Microsoft's antitrust troubles tabled for now and a new operating system, Windows XP, that's stabler and simpler to use than ever, Apple will be hard pressed to attract converts."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate.

That new IMac is a child's toy. And that poll looks very suspicious.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

Ah, an editorial. How wonderful.
It's dated February 2002. My stuff is dated from late July 2002, and talks about how Apple isn't meeting sales expectations for those very same iMacs.
Editorials are nice and all, especially since there's bound to be one on the internet for every opinion, but it proves nothing..."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

It's quite simple, really. The vast majority of PC users wouldn't click on that link if they saw it on ZDNet. I know I wouldn't.Originally posted by Fez

Why would I want to read an editorial about some guy who likes an iMac?
It's obvious that the Mac users were the majority that read it, and voted accordingly."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

it! Apple's switch campaign that's targets PC users just began very recently. We'll have to see what happens in the coming years.
