what would you say constitutes an 'apple lifestyle'?
I'm talking stuff like:
- make & model of car?
- where would you holiday?
- architect of home?
- where would you live?
- what would you ideally do?
- anything else you can think of

I've been wondering what the marketing people at apple want buyers to aspire to. If you know what I mean...

I think we're supposed to drive VWs, buy furniture from Ikea, wear jeans and black polo necks and be creative.

An Apple lifestyle is all about how your Mac enhances your life. The rest of those questions are pointless.

Meh I couldn't care who apple wants me to be... just so long as they keep making a computer that lets me be who I want to be, and not give me comp problems every time I need to print out something that matters, or shut off in the middle of a 100 meg upload.

- yellow clown's car primed to fall apart at comical moments, with a big horn that goes "aaaaaroooogah!"
- at the top of a tall tree, or maybe in a submarine
- no, the architect out at moment
- wherever I am at the time. It's easier that way.
- nothing. There is always room for improvement and I can currently only do things exceptionally.
- Lots, Christmas, the Eiffel tower, Chairman Mao, Coco-pops, gnus, Kylie Minogue, cheshire cheese, car parks, purple, hunger, tuesday. I could go on...

I don't know about an Apple lifestyle, but here's my lifestyle:

- 1998 Ford Mustang
- Got me, I live in an apartment.
- Ideally, I would live in Manhattan or Boston.
- I would be someone that wears a suit and meets with a lot of people and makes a lot of money with very little actual work. Think CEO.
- I like cheese.

Apple makes products for people with some money, that is no secret, and they target 18-49 year olds. In the interest of fun, I will fill out your questionnaire.

- make & model of car?
I can't/won't drive (I'm only 18 don't worry, I get driven wherever I want anyways)
- where would you holiday?
Europe
- architect of home?
Don't know... a dead one I suppose (Our house in itself is an antique)
- where would you live?
PA, USA.
- what would you ideally do?
Well, buy Apple products of course.
- anything else you can think of
... Im out of thoughts.

I agree. That's all I need in life, a Mac and a hunk of cheese.
