I don't think most people base their purchasing decisions for computers on the type of systems they see in a movie.

Actually, the Macintosh has changed enormously since MacOS X, with a lot of Unix-loving geeks and nerds (including myself) considering it the ideal blend of commercial software availability, Unix power and slick user interface cool.

That being said, a computer is more than a box filled with performance numbers. People in the graphic arts field tend to appreciate appealing aesthetic design, something Microsoft has yet to master. And I join them in this; the Mac really has a stunningly beautiful interface, and when you look at something for as many hours a day as I do, it really helps a lot.

Visit an Apple store and take a look; you might find that Macs have an enormous appeal that really has to be seen to be appreciated. Apple users love their computers; if you just think your computer is a boring old tool, well, we pity you.

Do you think I care if some GAY HAIR SALON OWNING MAC USERS pity me? My case goes under the desk, and thus I don't care what it looks like. There is no need to pay 3x the money for half the power, and 1/1000th of the application support. It's hilarious how Macs have to go out of their way for Win emulation. That really says it all right there.

Mac is the homosexual's computer of choice!
