Perhaps indirectly...in certain coffee shops at certain times of the day and in specific areas of the country.
But the odds are probably against it. And "mac girls", if there are such people, are not nearly as cool as they would have been several years ago when Apple's market share was slightly smaller.
So, just buy a PC and use the extra money that would be foolishly squandered to buy other products--like the iphone.
And here's a few tips when in a coffee shop:
Either just get the coffee and leave.
or
Stay and enjoy your coffee, but keep your windows-based machine at home, in your car, or just in your laptop bag. Let her wonder if you have a MAC Book PRO in there.
OR, and you have to have a certain amount of charisma to pull this off, turn your weakness into a strength!
Pull out your Dell laptop, put it on the table, and defiantly check your emails with it. Swagger a little too. If a mac girl comes by and giggles a little, just tactfully pull out your wallet with all your unspent cash, offer to but her the most expensive coffee they make, and explain, charmingly, why you're so much better than all the other losers around there.
