I can't help but feel very strongly against Apple/ Mac users. Animators, character designers and all other people who use Macs because of their special characteristics (which I seriously do not know of) apart, the possession of a Mac is quite hard evidence that one isn't a thinker.

I find it quite a trend that people who buy Macs get them for one of the few reasons below:

- everyone else is buying them. Therefore if they get them too, they're more likely to fit in or, no one would give them the 'funny eye'.

- the mac looks good. They buy it for the 'style'. Though I wonder what style is left after everyone else has gotten it.

In fact, I think to buy a Mac because of the so-called 'fun' factor is one of the lamest reasons. The Mac has been degraded from a tool to a mere plaything. A mere thing you tick off your list of to-get-goodies from say, a shopping spree. In fact, the Mac becomes somewhat of a vulgar remark. To have a Mac next to you is equivalent to saying 'Look, I have a Mac' in an utmost derogatory manner. I really can't express how much disgust as well as pity I have for these poor people.

For goodness sakes people, buy a Mac because you did your homework and found that you liked its combination of specifications more than all the other good brands out in the market, that it provides good after purchase support, that it is a reliable or a good performer, and not because you have more cash than brains to spare.
