  Used to do this

  I used to give away crack cocaine in school. There was no business motivation for doing it, I'm just a nice guy.
  
  (Oh man, I'm going to regret this post later!)

  didn't Apple try this?

  Isn't this something Apple has tried without much success? I know there are die-hard Apple/Mac fans out there, but I doubt it was because there elementary school had classes using Apple IIe's.

    Re: didn't Apple try this?

    Actually... I do know folks who are Apple fans simply because that's what they learned on in school. I can also point out applications that I use because I was forced into them in college. I didn't say it was a foolproof strategy however. Apple lost a lot of users because of a ton of strategic mistakes they made that practically forced people to migrate over to Wintel. If they hadn't been so pathetic, they probably would have kept a lot more of their users who had been hooked early.
