There's no easy way to say this so we'll just spit it out: Mac owners 
are bigger gadget nerds than PC owners. At least that's the conclusion 
drawn in NPD's 2009 Household Penetration Study. NPD concludes that Mac 
owners not only own more computers than the norm, they also own more 
types of consumer electronics -- the average Apple household owns 48 
consumer electronics devices compared to 24 in the average computer 
household. In fact, NPD suggests that "Apple household owners' actions 
and purchases can be used by the industry as leading indicators for hot 
new products and adoption." Unfortunately, there's no direct mention of 
Linux PC owners because they usually still live with their parents. Oh!
