Apple users are likes AOL users of yesteryear. Firefox users are like freenet users. AOL users have more money but are less techie. Firefox users are more techie but broke.

Sure but let's see average user data first before making these claims. Aren't Apple products popular among kids? Kids are usually poor and would bring the wealth average down.

But kids often have parents who aren't poor. IIRC children's toys are a pretty profitable and segment.

The point is wealth per user, not potential wealth per user. Parents don't always buy their kids the same high grade devices that they use.
