"And, that would be YOU, right?"
Actually, I use Windows. Always have. I'm a computer professional who is also a hobbyist. Macs were never hobbyist friendly. But it is an interesting platform, and I can understand why someone would choose Mac.
That was a very polite and well-reasoned response.
What is your definition of "hobbyist friendly"? No - it's just about impossible to build a "Mac" from scratch. But on the other hand, over the years of being a Mac owner, I have done everything from cooling modifications, to HD replacements, case modifications, processor upgrades, processor overclocking, etc. Maybe not what you meant - but I have done all I ever cared to with my computers....
