I'd also ask that a couple of folks 60+ (retired, new user to computers,
as well as existing Mac and windows) be surveyed if possible. 

I'm running into a lot of folks in that demographic (think start of baby

like the price, so getting that demographic's input and factoring in
their impressions could be useful.
