But doesn't that mean that Apple are getting it *right* ? What would be
the point of a piece of consumer electronics that needed genius level
IQ to operate ?

I suppose it depends on what you mean by "different"; if by "different"
you mean people who are of the opinion that when they are using a
computer, they don't want to be mucking about with the computer but
getting on with the things they actually wanted to do, then I suspect
Apple users are indeed "different" !

(Actually, this is the thing I *really* like about MacOS X, as opposed
to any of the earlier versions - it's a Mac when you want it to be, but
it can be Unix when you need it to be too - there are plenty of
opportunities to geek out with the shell ! ;)

As others have pointed out, it might be because the only people really
wanting a
tablet are those who are different. The days when Apple made hardware
for
different people are over; now they make hardware for teenage girls
with an IQ
of 85. *prepares to get flamed by Mac users* Well sorry, at least
that's the
situation at my location.
