IIRC Rush Limbaugh uses a Mac...

I remember Rush saying, somewhat accurately, back in the day when there was a big hulabaloo about Windows 94, "Windows 94 equals Mac '89".

Mac had a much better user interface than Windows, but hefty boutique prices and less software available. It is amazing the degree to which some people resent Bill Gates but give Steve Jobs a complete pass. I use windows for better compatibility and generally lower prices, but I can see the appeal of Macs. My first PC was a Mac Plus back around 1986 for about $2500, used. When I toy with Macs at Best Buy, I realize that if I go back to Mac I'll need to relearn the user interface. I actually had a FORTRAN complier on the Mac and wrote toy programs to amuse my daughter. I also used it with "Numerical Recipes in FORTRAN" to code things like FFTs and such. I really got a good intuitive feel for a lot of numerical programming using my Mac. Windows used to come with MicroSoft Basic, but no more. Since Office for home use is only $100 smackers, I've learned to use Excel 2007 VBA for home projects.

Steve Jobs is a cult figure for the easily brainwashed youths of this nation, just like our President. That said, Apple is an amazing company. I run windows on may laptop but am an Iphone addict.
