Heh, I associate Macs with that smug, smarmy little punk from the commercials. Bleah.

Exactly. All of their arguments for preferring a Mac over a PC boil down to, "It's so cool!" or "Microsoft is teh debbil!" or "It cost more, it must be better!" or similar drivel.

Rose and I bought the parts to assemble two PCs last month. We could choose what components we wanted, what their capabilities are, how much we wanted to spend, heck, even what OS we wanted to run on them. That's freedom. Try to do that with a Mac, and see who's really sitting on a bench staring up at Big Brother.

(For those who don't know, that last bit is a dig at the infamous Mac "1984" commercial.)
