You know whenever I take my MacBook Air to the coffee shop, I find young women giving me alluring looks filled with longing. Maybe it is my manicured nails, or my Ben Sherman cardigan or my Tag Heuer R14K spectacles, or perhaps its the way I sip my double-mocha-latte but no matter what it is,
they're driven to sit down at my table and they melt in my hands as I recite Shelley or Auden, hold their precious hands and gently run my fingers through their long hair.

Yes, being a Mac user has advantages. It's a question of style really, the non-Mac PC users all hate us - they don't have the magic, the metro sexual touch of a man who drives his Mini Cooper Sport convertible, fresh from his daily game of squash or golf, and is able to smell enough of that Chanel Egoist to drive those young debutantes mad with
our knowledge of the world and our ability to treat a woman as a real woman. As we sip our drinks and feast on the women, we use our iPhones
to note their details for the impending evening sojourn, we revel in one simple fact --that we are admired while the gauche, ingenuous PC losers are just a group of beer bellied wannabees who will never have our panache or our luck with beautiful women.

Rejoice my fellow Mac brothers, for we are kings.

Good gracious, man! Its must be quite stuffy in that closet! :p
 
i don't know - mac used to actually mean superior hardware quality, but based on my recent experiences i'd say it's true no more.
 
So... you basically said this:

1) "manicured nails"
You pay somebody else to fix your nails.

2) "Ben Sherman cardigan"
I won't profess to even have heard of this brand... but the fact that it is a "cardigan" suggests plenty.

3) "Tag Heuer R14K spectacles"
Do those TAG specs make you see faster?

4) "sip my double-mocha-latte"
I bet it is a "skinny" one too

5) "I recite Shelley or Auden"
Clearly you're hard at work... needing a *cough* mobile computer at the coffee shop

6) "the metro sexual touch of a man who drives his Mini Cooper Sport convertible"
The problem is that you used the words "Mini Cooper Convertible" and "Man" in the same sentence

7) "daily game of squash or golf"
Again... must be hard at work.

8) "smell enough of that Chanel Egoist"
I'm not even going to comment...

9) "treat a woman as a real woman"
Since you're more than three quarters the way there yourself.

10) "we use our iPhones to note their details for the impending evening sojourn"
Something wrong with the "good ol' memory"?



You are definitely a MacBook candidate through and through! You did miss out on a few stereotypes though...
Like:

Only going to a "Platinum" Gym to pose, while wearing that nifty arm holster for your awesome tunes delivery device.
Smoking "Vogue" cigarettes.
Your "Lacoste" Golf shirt with the popped collar.
Your belt matching the colour of your hi-lights.
The rainbow sticker on the back of the mini cooper.

I can just guess which Greek island you visit in early July.

LOL!

Mac and Apple used to stand for the "enlightened few" who knew better than the rest...
Unfortunately, Apple now stands for... well... fruits.
Who follow market trends blindly like the rest of the sheep... Who know that it must be better because it is more expensive.

Think how much better you'd look if you'd spend the time you waste defending your products; on making yourself look even better in front of the mirror!

Good grief! This is officially the fastest start to a holy war! Kinda like Iraq walking up to the UN and giving them the finger.
You've got guts. ;)

Well, by the sound of it... you're following the world's style. And don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing you for it. It just doesn't do it for me. The Mini Cooper, MacBook, iPhone, squash..etc... it's not my style. ;)
I love PC's because I love knowledge. (Partly why I installed Linux). And I spend my money on other things... like sky diving or weekends away to find new creative ways to get the blood pumping...

There is a saying... Horses for Courses. ;)
 
The only thing that comes out of these "debates" is how insecure people are in their choices in life.
 
Lets clear something up here... do mac people only hate on Windows users or PC users in general?

I got nothing against Linux at all... Windows on the other hand...

Personally, I get that feeling that you have when you see a retarded person walking in the street and drooling all over themselves, i.e. pity, not hate.
 
It all comes down to preference at the end of the day. I too once was a HTC Windows Mobile fan together with my Windows PC. There should be a good reason why I haven't operated a Windows device/PC in 18 months? :D

This MAC/PC debate will never come to a conclusion so why waste our time even arguing about it?
