No kidding. I've been using Macs since the Mac II, and it's all I've heard the whole time! I use Windows, too - I'm an equal-opportunity computer user, they're just tools. I know Dvorak runs out an "Apple is doomed" column whenever things are slow, it's always an easy filler topic, but the predictions never quite come true. "No-one will buy $3K Powerbooks!" They're all over, and pop up as must have objects of drool in PC magazines. "No-one will buy a $500 MP3 player!" iPods are THE hot product this year, they're selling mountains of them.
I make a pretty nice living using Macs, I see no reason to switch full time to Windows, mostly because of the time invested in learning the Mac OS, and my considerable investment in Mac software - nor do I see any need to run around telling Windows users that their machines "suck" and using one makes them a "fag". I've never gotten a straight, reasonable answer why someone using a Windows machine gives them license to be rude and obnoxious whenever they see a Mac or a Mac user - the comments about "arrogant Mac users" mystifies me, most Mac users are terrified of admitting they have one, because of the abuse and generally rude behavior they get when they do. I've watched as adults walk by the Mac section at Fry's or CompUSA, and blurt out "Macs Suck!" - is there really any need for that?
There was a time when Apple probably was close to being sold, back in the 7.6 days, under Skulley, right before Jobs came back. Their machines were slow, buggy and expensive, the OS was buggy and completely unstable, and sales were way down. Macs truly did suck then. That's all been fixed, thankfully. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot I really like about Windows, too - and a lot I'd like to see improved on the Mac, but the doom and gloomers may be surprised by Apple's performance in the near future!
They are applesauce.
