Agree 1000%.Some of us are familiar with a "Freeper" whose profile,curiously enough,shows that 99.9% of his posts are threads started by him/her either in praise of Apple or slamming Microsoft and Android.These posts are always *very* professionally done,almost as if he was an Apple employee or stockholder.

I,for one,like my Windows PCs a lot.I also like my Android phone a lot.I've also liked the last three diesel cars I've owned (diesel being a "niche" market in the US).However,I don't obsess...or even come close to obsessing...over any of these items.I like them,I use them and I'm quite satisfied with them.

To some in this world,and even to one or two here on FR,Apple is a cult.

I’ve been an Apple guy since the 80’s. I’ve used and continue to use Windows machines for work, though. While they’ve come a long way in user friendliness, stability and functionality since the mid-90’s when they finally got an Apple knockoff user interface, Windows machines are still generally crap by comparison, from build quality of the hardware to the sketchy, inconsistent and somewhat wobbly user interface. I’m quite happy with my Apple computers and phones. My software investment is there, my skill base is largely most at home there. I can and do boot up Windows on my Mac when necessary, but that’s becoming less and less of a necessity. So, this “cult” thing appears to be rather stupid, to me. I buy them because they just work better in my circumstance. If you for some reason feel you’ve just got to have Windows or Android, by all means, go get one. I’m not stopping you. But, please stop trying to stigmatize what works for me and has worked well, for decades.

There’s a lot of FReepers who appreciate what he posts. If Swordmaker wants to specialize in it, and does so tastefully, and hundreds of others want him to, then why do you obsess with demeaning him? At least he understands punctuation.
