Hi there
It was ten years ago that I was a representative for Apple (through ServiceSource) standing on the sales floor at my local CompUSA.
Apple had gone through some turbulent times. Steve Jobs had been tossed out of Apple a couple of years before. First one CEO tried to lead the company, then another. Apple was circling the drain. So the board decided to give His Steveness one more crack at leading the company.
The first new product he introduced was the iMac. The advertising tag line was, "Computers... They aren't beige anymore."
CompUSA had partnered with Apple to introduce this new all-in-one beauty. It was phenomenal. The line ran around the store. It was a very satisfying day.
From their first major commercial release of the Apple II, to 1984 and the introduction of the Macintosh line of computers, over the past 30 years or so, all age groups have discovered that "It just works," is more than a slogan when it comes to computers from Apple.

Personally, I think the latest are the greatest offered. They're fast... Easy to set up (just take them out of the box)... Stuffed with software you can use.
To end, and with apologies to Joe Namath, "I can't wait 'til tomorrow 'cause they get better lookin' every day."
Hope this helps.
