A few of us fight monumental health issues on a daily basis just to be able to apply our fingers to the keyboard. I am usually amazed and humbled by witnessing the others around this cyber place, knowing what they must do to write, and how well they do it. Puts me right in the shade, folks. The Mac is important to people because of all the other things that are important in their life. People have their dreams and desires.
People have hopes and they make plans for their lives.
Everyone of us are like this, and for those of us who use a Macintosh, we somehow come to believe that the Mac touches all of these things in life that are so vital to us. First of all, it is not the machine, nor is it the software that causes the Mac to have such a profound effect on the people who use it. I am talking about something much more elemental than silicone, switches and circuits, or bits and bytes here. The profound secret of the Mac is discovered within the people who use it. So strange that we give an inanimate object such qualities.
