I don't want to turn this into a PC Vs Mac thread, so please don't.



What I want to know is why some Mac users are so arrogant and obsessed with their computers. I don't know any other computer users who are as obsessed as some mac users - and I know a lot of geeks!



I have a mate who is obsessed with his and will bring it up and any avaliable opportunity and even picked a fight with me to defend his precious Mac! Wouldn't surprise me if he wanted some mac icecream.



So please, someone, can you shed some light as to why people worship something which is essentially a tool? Does one worship a spanner? No! (although this guy claims Macs are more important to civilisation than spanners!)

Hey, you think us Mac users are bad? Try talking to a linux-head for a while, they're just like ex-smokers in that evangelical "I used to do something bad and now I'm being better" way, at least Mac users have always had a better OS.. wink

A wise man once said: "You have two ears and one mouth, therefore you should shut the censored up and listen" (though, to be fair, he might not've put it _quite_ like that..)

S'funny... I could say the same thing about some PC users. Actually, I've met several who seem to take every cheap shot they can at me for what computer I use. I mean wtf!? Seriously, I wish some people would get a life... rolleyes



I got bored of the argument years ago. I mean, you might as well argue about nutella vs marmite. Oh, wait a minute...

There's elitists on both sides to anything.

There are arrogant PC users as well as arrogant Mac users. The smart ones use their respective systems and shut the hell up wink

Other examples of tribal elitism also include

Ford vs. Holden
Star Wars vs. Star Trek
Poi vs. Staff wink

Knowing one thing well allows easier understanding of others.

You aren't thinking or really existing unless you're willing to risk even your own sanity in the judgment of your existence.
