Your characterization of Mac folks is unfortunate. Like most slams it has a grain of truth -- of course there are extreme fanboys in all camps -- but really, what you say does not line up with my experience, and I've used Macs and associated with (and helped/supported) Mac users since they appeared in 1984. Actually a year before that, if you count the Lisa. I don't find your observations jibe with mine.

Yes, the fraction of Mac users who are Mac fanatics are especially so. They have the zeal of the minority zealot, amplified by the knowledge that like Avis, they're #2 and have to try harder.

Anyway, IMO you needn't continue trashing Apple folks, especially on an Apple thread. It's bad manners, Sir.

Yeh, I know, and it is really bad manners on My part. Just can’t help it once in awhile.

I don’t really hate all Apple users. In fact, the very first computer I ever built was an Apple ][ when I was living with the Nihonjin in the early 80’s.

Certain individuals just set off a reaction sometimes, but I do acknowledge that I probably should not push their buttons so much.

It just annoys sometimes when I can post on the ‘doze threads to address a probem or solution and even poke fun at their OS since I am a Linux proponent and they will at most throw a jab or two back.

Quite different on the mac threads.

Also, I should point out;

Have you seen the responces I have gotten when I make a comment about the macmachines/macfanatics on other (non-mac-centric) threads?

But as I stated previously, despite the experiences I have undergone with the macophiles, I do not hate macmachines.

After all, I may need to print a calendar some day or even a photo or two.

(ducks!) *grin*
