You are right, they have something to be snobby about. The twirling Mac jewelry keeps you spellbound.
For you PC users, Mac uses a spinning beach ball instead of an hour glass. PC users, remember the old days when an hour glass turned over and over as you waited for a program to process information.
On a Mac, they call that the "beach ball of death." On a PC, we call the hour glass "so yesterday."
Go ahead, enjoy your trance. Stare directly at that spinning beach ball and keep convincing yourself you have a better machine (You are getting sleepy, you are getting sleepy...you are now delusional).
It’s not been a problem for me. And that’s on a G3 at 1.2GHz. No different than this XP box on an AMD Athlon at 1.5GHz.
It seems your post is all about the spin, though. Just not quite the way you think.
