A le di utes geriatric image

Last week, TUAW posted about a MetaFacts report that found 46% of A le's i talled base to be over the age of 55. A le took i ue with those findings. Ly Fox, an A le PR director, wrote Information Week saying "The MetaFacts data you cited in your story is incorrect. Our customer data shows that only around 20% of Mac users are over the age of 55." A le did not su ly any facts to back up this a ertion.

Information Week tracked down Van Baker, a research VP at MetaFacts competitor Gartner, who pointed out that a recent Gartner study put the average age of an A le-male-head-of-household at 39.4 years behind the 41 year age of the average PC-male-head-of-household.

We here at TUAW are holding on tight to our walkers, waiting to see how this plays out.
