You just described me as well. I'd gladly switch if I weren't a gamer.

No problem! All you have to do is lose your sense of adventure, interest in fun, and self-esteem; develop a fetish for oddly-colored plastic; and constantly exhort people to "switch" to your platform.

Hmm. I never realized how much time I was wasting on my sailboat and in the theater. For the record. I use a Mac. I like the Mac. Use what you like and what helps you do your job. Be excellent to each other.

I actually like Macs, I just don't want to own one because I can't use a Mac how I want to use my computer. Mac guys just don't seem to get that.

Get with the times, it's now a fetish for brushed aluminum, which I expect to be copied by the PC manufacturers soon.

Wow back from a ban and picking fights already..

You're out of date.

It's aluminum (in the high-end models like my G5) and white plastic (in the low-end models). Only the iPod Mini is available in colours.

And you are right that Windows computers use the same components as the Mac, except for the processor and some custom-made parts. That helps keep Mac prices down, which you should surely applaud.

But there's one thing I don't understand: Why does being a Mac user decrease my sense of adventure? Surely using something 95% of the population uses is not exactly an adventure. I would say the adventure comes by using something unique and special, like the Mac.

Owning a PC isn't an adventure. It's just a job.
