Now you can quote dark poetry AND sub-atomic principals, and be in trouble These rumors are leaking into Apple's core audience though. People who love the Macintosh do so once they start using it, because they can use it. People who like to do all of the above at better prices, use something else. People who don't like being jerked around by Apple's management - also lose no love over going with something else. Macintosh users are seriously vocal fans.
Many people simply write it off as fanaticism or suckerism , but the truth is simple.
People feel that Macintosh has helped them with their chores. They feel that very strongly. Some people think that's all there is to computers. They don't realize how important computers are to the evolution of the Human race. Or how far a mind with little to do can dwell in places that are best left unsaid - like new age flakey crap as evolution and how computers will factor into it.
