A Daily Princetonian article reports that the number of Princeton University students buying Macs has increased substantially over the past 3 years.
According to their Office of Information Technology, 45% of computers purchased this year were Macs.

In 2003, only 15% of computers sold were Macs, with steady increases to 25% and 38% in 2004 and 2005.

In response to an X post from someone wondering if we'll see...
