I am just tired of True Believers not being helpful of someone is having a problem by barging in with sales pitches on their favorites, like Macs/ Linux, etc.

Speaking of behalf of the Mac FReepers - we don't sell Macs, but plenty of folks on FR have found the Mac recommendations helpful as a solution to their problems.

Macs simply put an end to the plague of viruses, worms and spyware - if you don't install Microsoft Windows.

I do technically agree with you, not being a Wintel-Only type myself. I just do not think every single opening should result in a sales pitch, whether someone posts a Mac answer, or a picture of a Penguin.-And there are those types of evangelists around.

The Clueless are still capable of bringing down a Mac, or getting A Linux system rooted, but yes, they are helped out a lot, since everyone is going to write malicious code for the most popular system.

Windows boxes are also prone to Operator wetware failure, and are only one multiple Real Media installation from becoming useless.

The reason Macs dominated Graphic Arts till recently was because they started the Plug and Play reputation amongst non-geeks back in the 80's.

That said, I have not seen a blue screen in years and years. But I am rather geeky, going back to FORTRAN IV.

I know, I know...
