Look, FRiend, Mac users are among the most defensive group on the planet. Worse than atheists, worse than ACORN, worse even than global warmists!

Are you a fan of the Dilbert comic strip? Do you recall the character “Tina”, the brittle tech writer?

“Tina” is a caricature of the typical Mac aficionado. (And yes, a Mac head could prolly spell “aficionado” correctly.) Harmless, can be fun to “tweak”, but you get what you get when you take the mechanical pencil out of your pocket protector and poke it into that hornet’s nest.

Mind you, Mac users are basically okay; some of my best friends use Macs.

"...some of my best friends use Macs."

My parents discouraged me from ever dating a Mac user.

Yeah I have no problem with people that use Macs or other Apple products (I own a 1st generation iPod Shuffle and for a crappy mp3 player it is what it is, still nothing like my Sandisk Fuse e260!) but the rabid anti PC mentality they have is disturbing. The irony is they reside on this very site of supposed conservative Republicans/Independants, yet they resemble Democrats remarkably, and their behavior typically resembles the nasty vulgarity you’d see over on Democratic Underground. Just an observation over many years of reading Mac threads.
