I use Macs for a simple reason: even though I’m very technical and *can* generally convince any computer to shut up and do what I want, I feel life is too short, and I’d rather work on the task at hand instead of beating on a computer ot get it to let me work on the task. Macs are very good at just getting out of my way and not causing problems. And one could only wonder how much more productive other geeks would be if they got away from the “I like hacking my windows box” mentality and actually put that time into finishing things. But that’s their choice, and they’re welcome to it. Me, I have higher aims in life than having my obituary read “he finally got his Registry” cleaned out”, you know?
One gets the feeling the fanboys are more in love with the computer as a fetish object than as a tool.
