I think I've experienced more...unbacked up 'hatred' towards my mac than I have ever before in my life. I tell a friend who has a PC, "oh, Jim, I got a mac." and I've only ever gotten, "BOOO" or "ewww...mac!" or some other form like that.
So today at my friends house we were doing a lan to play Warcraft 3, right?
and his mom comes up and says,
"Nik, is that your new computer?" "yup." (Nik owns a Dell) "I like how sharp the screen is!....Mike, is that a new laptop or have you had that for awhile?" (her eyes lingering on the glowing apple for a second) "no, it's new. It's a macintosh." "....oh....well...I suppose that's better for YOUR needs, isn't it?" Now at this point I wanted to get into an argument with her about why they are not inferior to PC's, (Oddly enough, an Arugument similar to this would have never taken place as recently as Febuary...) but I just sorta smiled, and reassured myself that I have an amazing secret that all of these people probably will have no clue about.
As I left, they were all running Norton and spybot to get rid of their viruses and adware. I chuckle and put my Silver Powerbook into my backpack.
has everybody else experienced such cold people as I have?
