I use Macs. I like Macs. They are fine machines. But why are Mac devotees so insecure that they are constantly seeking affirmation of their superiority? It’s a machine people; a tool. It doesn’t define you. Get over yourselves.

People like to talk computers at FR and Mac threads are part of it

You said — I use Macs. I like Macs. They are fine machines. But why are Mac devotees so insecure that they are constantly seeking affirmation of their superiority? It’s a machine people; a tool. It doesn’t define you. Get over yourselves.

Are you kidding... it’s more than a machine... if you get a Windows PC — *that* is a “machine”...

A Mac is a computer that does what you want it to... can’t say enough good about it... LOL..

I've been a Mac Lover since the 1984 commercial. But I must say, that all the fanboi-ism of late turns me off. Something too Liberal about it for me, hero-worship kind of stuff.

Sure it does.

When I walk in a guys shop and see a bunch of cheap and partially broken tools I see a guy that doesn't take much pride in his work. For him it's just a job.

But walk in a guys shop that has well kept, quality tools and you'll see a guy that takes pride in his workmanship.

You've got it backwards. haha. It is Redmond WA that is the "superior" telling the entire world that they are "supreme" and "the only choice."

Seriously, I used Macs (in a corporate setting) for their first ten years of desktops existence, then shifted to PCs for the next decade (also corporate, and then personal). Two years ago came back to Apple with a MacBook Pro 160g, now with a iPod Touch 32g, and couldn't be happier. Apple has "tried harder" being #2 for the past twenty plus years, and their striving and innovation have brought forward better products. It isn't even a close comparison in terms of performance, lack of bugs, and safe from virus epidemics. Yeah, they can be more expensive, depending on the configuration and machine chosen, but I'll say it, "Macs are the best."
