I think many PC users actually learned how to operate the machine, rather than have everything done for you. Manual transmission vs. automatic, which I gather is also resulting in many more that cannot drive a manual at all.

We were comfortable with this and knew what to do, where the Mac crowd was helpless until the funny little icons were invented to show them how to do things.

What I dont get is their pride in crowing about how utterly clueless they are in using a PC.

I’m sitting here using a Windows 8.1 machine, and for the the life of me I’ve never struggled with it. But you hear people that buy a Mac almost to a person give stories about how they they cant operate Windows because it is “too hard”, but then go and buy an entirely different OS, that isnt any easier to use, but because people say “it’s effortless”, they then will swear that they learned how to use it on the first day!

Which of course is nonsense or else all of those help forums would be empty, and their “Genius Bars” at the Apple stores would be shuttered.

I suppose when the reality gets in the way of the marketing, you dont want to be the one crowing about how hard a time you are having using a Mac after making such a show about switching to it.
