Fair, but how common were Macs in 2006 for newcomers? At least in my corner of the world they were practically non existing. The first time I saw macOS at all

Fair, but how common were Macs in 2006 for newcomers? At least in my corner of the world they were practically non existing. The first time I saw macOS at all was in 2012, and it was on my pc after managing to turn it into a hackintosh with help from some random Eastern European guy from a message board.
