This is more an interesting observation to me than anything else, and it does make sense considering the regional business cultures, but when I was recently on my trip to San Francisco for a weekend with a friend, I was actually blown away by the overwhelming percentage of coffee shop internet surfers that were on Macs. I was just about the only one in the shop with a PC laptop. Conversely when I was in Seattle this last Wednesday for the Depeche Mode concert... that by the way rocked so hard I couldn't feel my legs afterwards... or maybe that is what all the alcohol I consumed. Back on subject, In the coffee shops I walked past in Seattle it was a clearly all PC laptop environment.
Considering the Businesses of each respective area, the Bay area having the Apple headquarters in Cupertino, and Redmond based Microsoft being in the northwest.
I guess I'm just more surprised at myself for being surprised by the largely regional differences in computer culture, but I'm not surprised at my jealousy that arose as I sat in a coffee shop across the street from the San Francisco Trolley Museum and saw a cute couple sit down at a table near me, and both pulled out thier respective Powerbook and started typing, sipping and talking away with each other... DAMN COUPLES!! :P
