My dad is an avowed Mac-hater from back in the day.  Hates ‘em, thinks they’re only good for ‘desktop publishing.’  You know the type.  

Today we’re talking and he tells me that he’s getting an iPhone 3G for him and Mom when they come out in July.  Now this isn’t surprising… he’s been drooling all over ours since we got them.  In fact, I’ve probably sold about a hundred iPhones since Friday was born–peoples eyes start glazing over flicking back and forth between baby pictures.  Must.  Have.  iPhone.

No, the two new iPhones isn’t what’s so surprising.  What shocked me is that he’s also planning to pick up a 24″ iMac to go with them.  ”Why go halfway?”  he said.  

So, if there’s any question in your mind whether or not iPhones upsell Macs to the PC faithful, there’s your answer.  Hell, I’d have been less surprised if my Dad told me he was registering Democrat.
