The Hippodrome opened in 1914 as a mixed use vaudeville and movie theatre, the seating capacity was 1,050. It is located in the Jackson Ward district and attracted a mainly African-American audience from the locality.

In the 1930′s and 1940′s it attracted big stars who appeared on the stage, such as Bill ‘Bojangles’ Robinson, Ethel Waters, Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles, Moms Mably, James Brown, Billy Holiday and Nat King Cole. It was acquired by the Abe Lichtman circuit in c.1935 and the Hippodrome Theatre was listed as being a ‘Negro’ theatre in Film Daily Yearbooks for many years.

I’m a fan of Apple myself and have plenty of their products; crossing over to Mac hasn’t been a priority of mine since a lot of programs that I use simply do not run on a Mac.  Although near future holds a different say in that.

Anyway, these stats are interesting and I can safely say that a lot of people I come in contact with posses qualities of either a Mac or a PC user.
