that is because Rush and freepers notwithstanding, Mac users are largely lefties

I don't know if that is accurate. About four years ago, the New York Times did a survey of their readers about which platform they used and their political leanings. Turned out that about 41% of the respondents who used Macs considered themselves Conservative or Republican... another 19% claimed to be moderate or "independent." I would expect that being readers of the NYT that there would have been some self selection leaning toward lefties as conservatives and Republicans would switch to less egregiously biased newspapers such as the NY Post, so that high a percentage was a surpirse to me.

you gotta be kidding me...Lefties trumpet macs like the perfect accessory

like a Volvo or mongrel adopted pup instead of a purebred

or guys in girl jeans

or a Prius

I'm in Nashville and sometimes my aunt makes me take her Mac into the shoppe, it's like a time warp...freakville and other towns I've been to same thing

I bet you go on DU or KOS and it's Mac city

not that Macs are bad ....I like Jobs...wish him well it's just that lefties think Macs represent them and that Gates and PCs are the “man”..even though Gates is pro abort and hardly a righty...Google has plenty of topics on this

That falls well into the realm of "duh".

Yeesh, man, if you hate Apple so much, why don't you just stay off Apple threads? Underwater basket weaving is considerably more productive...


severe/insulting.

This wasn't a deserved attack as you put it, I was contemplating whether or not Apple would implement a strategy in which AC power would no longer work once the internal battery died. This IS possible to incorporate something like this, but just my suggesting this may be a possibility and I get a DUHHHHHHHH and Hey Blue, stick to underwater basketweaving. severe/insulting.
