“But the way the typical Apple elitist thinks ... “
It’s scary really. Obsession with toys is a rather disturbing trait :-). These are the same kind of people that make fools of their selves parading around San Francisco during certain pride weeks.
And, no, I am not implying all Apple users are like that ... just a certain, select, elite few here on FR and worldwide :-) ... I have too many friends that love Apple to make that a blanket statement :-).
Still, self identification through toys .... fascinating.
Next time I see our town alcoholic at the local bar banging away on his iPhone, I’ll remind myself how smart and successful he is to the elitist wing of the Apple movement :-). I mean, the elites always drive home the point that only the brilliant and successful use Apple, right?
Oh, VanDeKoik ... I see lots of your posts ... we must frequent the same threads ... keep up the good work :-)!
Thanks for the kind words, edh!
You are absolutely correct.
What I find to be the most disturbing thing about this thread, is the abuse heaped upon users of Apple products that has permeated it pretty much since it was posted. Post, after post of insults to users of Apple products, yet, if you'll read through it, there is very little in the opposite direction, and what there is, is largely responsive to previous insults and abuse.
I'm not particularly a fan of Apple products (I primarily use Linux because I prefer to build in what I want and leave out what I don't), but I don't go around insulting people because they use Windows or OSX. If you have a beef with the tech, bash the tech. Bashing the users of same just sounds childish.
This happens on most tech threads, and normally follows the same patterns.
