I shouldn't bag on Apple products that much . . . we have a powerbook in the house, and it works rather nicely. And my little sister, my older brother, and his wife all swear up and down on their iPods. And sometimes it seems like nine-tenths of the campus has iPod earbuds sticking out of their heads as they traipse about campus. But you do have to admit . . . the attitude of the hard-core Apple-ers is rather snotty . . .

Doubt me? Go into your local Apple store.

Oh, I'm with you there...5 minutes to class only gives you like one song, though...not sure why they even bother.

That reminds me of "The Smug" episode of South Park where they were all driving hybrids and enjoyed the smell of their own farts.

Don't get me wrong, I love my iPod. And when I have the money, I really, really want to have a Mac (in addition to any Widows based PC I will have). But the whole "culture" of Apple products just makes me sick. If they didn't make such darn sexy hardware, I wouldn't want to have anything to do with them. As it is, I am adamant that I am not an Apple fan, I just like some of their products.

Amen. I hate their ads with the mac and the windows guy, where mac guy is all cool and hip, and windows guy is a loser, fat and stuffy and just silly.

The fact of the matter is, 97% of computers run windows. Point. Final.
