IIRC Rush Limbaugh uses a Mac...

Blasphemers. LOL

[arderkrag]

Does this actually surprise anyone? Most mac users I know bought one because “it’s not a windows machine so I’m not supporting GREEEEEDDDDD”.

Fools. They are living examples of capitalism and market forces in action. Personally, I think that the government is in a much better position to decide for them which computing platform is better for them. The government decides....Windows. Take it and be happy. (do I really need a sarcasm tag?)

Don’t care. I will NEVER go back to Windows.

Any studies of which group takes this stuff most seriously?

[savedbygrace]

What about those of us who use both?

Anybody who would refuse to use the tools that works best for them because of who else uses it is think like a liberal.(sung in a wimpy voice.) Feelings, nothing more than feelings.

What company conducted the survey?

Ah, the power of advertising. Mac has worked hard to brand itself as the hip, iconoclastic, David vs. Goliath company. And the herd of independent minds swallows it hook, line, and sinker.

That's not a knock on Macs. It's a tribute to effective marketing. I'm sure there are people who have perfectly good practical reasons for preferring Macs. But I'm also sure that a lot of home uses have just bought the brand.

I'm a keep it simple guy myself. I got used to using a Windows machine at the office. When I got a home computer, I got another Windows machine just to be sure that everything was compatible. That was many years ago, and I've never had any reason to change. If I had more demanding uses, my mileage might differ.

more educated = better indoctrinated

[E. Pluribus Unum]

the survey also indicated that Mac users were, on average, more urban, younger and more educated than PC users, which could potentially be a contributing factor toward being more liberal.

That would also probably indicate that they were buried in federally "guaranteed" student loans, which would make them serfs of the federal government.

Well I’m a recent Mac convert. I’ve been in IT for a long time and still made the switch to Mac.

Apple is simply making a higher quality product. In fact the quality with Apple products simply has no equal in the PC industry.

[justiceseeker93]

Seems to me that the sampling technique employed for this "survey" leaves much to be desired. The ratio of Windows users to MAC users in the real world is much greater than the 53 to 25 percent (a little over 2:1) obtained here. I don't know offhand the exact percentage of the personal computer market using MAC operating systems, but I'm sure it's nowhere close to one in three, and it may even be as low as single digits.

When he’s not on FR, my Mac likes to shop for bulk ammo.

[winner3000]

This poll is useless and not surprising. Macs are more used at universities, and we know what type of people are there, from professors to the students. This is starting to change as Macs are starting to make inroads in the business world. Macs are also more expensive, and therefore the middle class are more likely to have PC’s.

Another thing...ever notice liberals drive Subarus?
Or I should say, the majority of Subuaru owners tend to be liberals

iGore thanks you for all the support.
