Musicians as well.  I remember meeting a teenager in the late '80s, who 
was a fine percussionist (he went on to play for the Tuscon Symphony 
years later).  He also had a love for composition, which he accomplished 
with a Mac and a MIDI interface.  I can't say I liked his compositions 
as well as his percussion performance, but I was extremely impressed at 
the capabilities of the Mac - in that narrow sphere.  At the time, I was 
using IBM mainframes at work, and had experience with VAX/VMS, Prime, 
and System 38, as well as IBM PC's.  The Mac seemed to be opening up new 
directions for the personal computer.
