Mac-User Logic
OK, here we go.
On the one hand, I have Mac users bursting at the seams to scream at me that 
the iPod has 80-something percent market share because it's clearly the best 
MP3 player. (And I'm an idiot for not thinking so.)
They they give another example of enormous market share: Windows. For 
example, one Jeremy Bolton wrote: "Hmm, let's see, one brand of anything 
with that kind of market share? Check out Microsoft's market share of the PC 
operating system market. Or their share of word processor software."
Therefore, following the Mac users' own logic, Windows having 90+ percent of 
the OS market must be because Windows is a better operating system. QED.
Just wanted to be clear on that.
Added 12/6:
In fact, "Michael" sent in this comment: "The best doesn't always win - in 
fact, the iPod is really the only thing that's "best in class" and also 
commands the most popularity in the market."
[laugh] So the iPod has huge market share because it's the best, but -- and 
here's the important part -- that doesn't apply to anything else. Talk about 
selective logic.

ah dimenticavo, un altra "perla" dei mac-losers:
More about Mac Users
I'm more convinced than ever that too many Mac users -- unlike Windows or 
Linux users -- are a bunch of putzes. (Chief among them are the writers and 
editors at Mac Daily News.)
Here's why.
In my USA Today column of September 3, I wrote about the Virginia Tech 
supercomputer, which happens to be composed of high-end Macintosh computers 
linked together.
The Mac community got itself into a tizzy -- not unlike the temper tantrum 
of a two year old -- for the following unforgiveable sins:
1. Even though it was a column about a supercomputer, I failed to play up 
the role of the Macintoshes to their satisfaction.
2. I said the computers used at VT were not available to the general 
public -- the "Little People" as I called us. At the time it was built, they 
weren't. Today they are.
3. I said the computers were running at 2.3 GHz. They actually run at 2.5 
GHz.
CORRECTION: I was right in the first place. The Macs do, in fact, run at 2.3 
GHz. The Mac Daily News people were -- shockingly -- wrong.
For those unpardonable sins, the Mac users screamed, stomped their feed, and 
sent me letters full of curses. (No, I'm not exaggerating.) They wrote to my 
boss and my editor (who found the whole thing funny).
How pathetic.
Now the new information:
There were a few mature letters in the bunch, but many of them suggested 
that users of any operating system would be just as vehement as the Mac 
people.
Oh yeah?
Last week I wrote about Linux, the open-source operating system that's an 
alternative to Windows. In it I discussed what I thought were Linux's weak 
spots and explained that I didn't use it.
The reaction from Linux users? Friendliness, thanks, and polite 
suggestions -- e.g., "Nice piece. I found that such-and-such works really 
well, so you may want to check that out next time you try Linux."
Some of them disagreed with some of my points, but, unlike Mac users, they 
didn't send me lines of curses and screaming, incoherant diatribes.
What a difference.
All of which firmed my belief that the Mac may be a great computer, but it's 
primarily for children
