"ADS = Apple Derangement Syndrome

I am not certain how TruthHound meant that. That is an epithet that has been used by PC fanatics AGAINST Mac users... saying that because we use Apples we are somehow deranged. That along with the Steve Jobs' Reality Distortion Field (RDF) are frequently cited in the same paragraph.

So much for your PC users attack 9 times versus Apple users attack once theory.

it's not a theory, Blue, it is a set of data extracted from the real world. It is also reproducible. But I must apologize. My memory was defective. I reviewed my report on that and the actual figure is that PC users are 7.8 times more likely to insult Mac users than vice verse.

The ADS reference was to those FR members who have nothing better to do than create threads to poke their finger in the collective eye of Apple users. You’re damn right they’re more expensive—and worth 5 times what any Windows machine costs for the superior graphics, system reliability and enhanced interface that boost my productivity every day.

Buy your PC. But don’t try to goad other FR members into schoolyard spitball wars just because you [mindless Mac-bashers] refuse to acknowledge that there are reasons many computer buyers will pay more for a better machine.
