1. Most MAC users are obnoxious a**holes about their MACs vs. PC. They will never admit that a PC can be good.

And several of them are posting to this thread. I could care less what kind of machine anyone buys, just don't give me crap because I like my PC better than your Mac.

Ya know, when you drive a nice looking car, people say, “ooh, nice car.” Unless it’s ridiculously expensive, or Euroweenie, no-one says: “Oh, God... he’s got an Acura; he’s GOT to be a conceited, uber-liberal, smarmy, smug fartsmeller.”

If Mac users could only just have the attitude, “Yeah, I spent an ungodly amount of dough for my computer, but isn’t it cool?”, people would like Mac users. It’s the attitude they have that all PC users are stupid, accursed, yadda yadda yadda, that’s why everyone who doesn’t use a Mac hates Mac users.

Case in point: I’ve always had at least two PCs since 1994. I’ve never spent more than $600 on one. I’ve never replaced one in less than four years. I’ve never called for service except for laptops. Most everyone I know has had similar experiences, except maybe some paid a little more for newer PCs. The sole exceptions have been connectivity-related driver issues from the 1990s, which Mac solved back then by telling people up front that they simply couldn’t use unsupported hardware at all.

Yet I get a bunch of Mac bots insisting that everyone who uses a PC must always be having their computers crash and serviced from the moment they get theirs.

So go ahead, tell me how fast your new car goes from 0-60. Tell me you get 50 MPG with your new hybrid engine. Good for you. My 1999 Buick suits me fine, and I’m saving up for a downpayment on a house. Don’t tell me it sucks. That just makes you an ***hole.

I have not seen any mac users that I would classify as a**holes on this thread. Can you point them out?

I have seen a few less than polite (and some quite insulting) Windows users, though—in particular codeflier. Let's see how polite and uninsulting he has been:

1. Most MAC users are obnoxious a**holes about their MACs vs. PC. They will never admit that a PC can be good.
2. 90% of MAC users are flaming libs.
3. The company's marketing is geared toward the environmental elitist crowd.
4. Did I mention obnoxious a**holes?
5. Most are caught up in status over technology.

Hmmmm. Quite insulting and impolite to fellow Freepers. I looked back over this thread and saw nothing insulting to him... or you.

The only obnoxious a**hole on this thread is not a Mac user...
