Biases are fine... that's what your tagline is for!

We do have Staples... I haven't noticed local Staples stores or
advertising having any Macs... Future Shop and Best Buy sometimes
include Macs in their fliers- but they only stock a few models,
while they sell a a much wider range of Windows systems. Not a good
choice for comparison information. Better, perhaps, would be to
go online- for example, www.apple.ca/store will get you to the
Apple Canada store. (Choice of English or French).

Most computer users- whether Mac or Windows- tend to only use a few
programs over and over... and only use a small percentage of those
programs' features. (Microsoft has complained re. the complexity of
MS Office that while typical users only 10% of the program's features,
different 'typical' users use different 10%'s... as well, there is
not much market for simpler/feature-reduced software).

 AZ>> You've got to compare Apples and oranges.

No need to promise... though it DOES seem to lead to nothing.
