Default Did owning an iPhone make you want a Mac?

Curious, I read somewhere recently that Mac sales were on a high uptick, with an assumed influx of new iPhone owners adopting to Apple's style.....

So, did anyone here go from PC to Mac because of their iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad???

BTW I bought my first MacBook and My 1st iPhone on the same day......launch day of 3G

Yes. I purchased a MacBook Pro about 2 weeks after I purchased my iPhone 4.

If Windows 7 was a flop I'd probably consider it but so far I have no complaints and don't really see the need to spend the money to get into an Apple computer when all I really do on my home PC is play around on the internet.

About a year after my 3G I purchased a Mac because it was time to upgrade my PC (after only 13 months). I will never go back (although I have to use one at work).

I already owned a Mac prior to the original iPhone. First Mac was a 1.5 ghz 15" PowerBook G4.

I would upgrade to a Mac if I had the $$$ to do it, and if I hadn't already invested way too much money in software.
