James, 

The software and books for the Mac platform are mostly available through
mail order, not in stores.  This has it's pros and cons.  I mostly see
the pros:

1.  No sales taxes.
2.  A salesperson always right there ready to help answer questions. 
3.  Mail order prices are always cheaper because of lower overhead.  
4.  One drawback is waiting for delivery, but that's usually overnight.

Get a copy of "Macworld" magazine and you'll see phone numbers for all
the mail order companies.

The best advertising for Macintosh is that saying "once you try a Mac,
you never go back".   A Mac owner is a loyal customer, that's the main
reason Macintosh is still alive.

Some good reasons why you shouldn't worry:

1.  If it doesn't kill you, it'll make you stronger.
2.  It won't matter when you're dead!
(Instead of saying, "What if. . . " say, "So what if. . . ")
