<http://www.mugcenter.com/news/2005/122005/1214macvoices.html>

users who are curious. As the iPod popularity grows, more users are
getting a taste of Apple technology and find out they like it. At the
same time, the frustration with Windows from a virus and security
perspective also continues to grow. Take Control of Switching to the
Mac, the new Take Control eBook by Scott Knaster, is a great place to
get the questions answered, whether for you as a Switcher, or for
friends who are considering the change. (more)
