if the apple evangelists actually achieved what they preached, then they would be unhappy as they wouldnt be unique anymore…
if you love your apple so much, just shut your mouth and feel special that the rest of us cant be bothered with your simplicity…
technology is complex, and mastering complex technology is a skill, a skill that empowers… learning to use an apple and flaunting it is like being proud of mastering duplo/lego….
we have both dell and apple computers in our company, and we run windows, OSX and linux… who cares its all the same…
computers are computers, they just help us communicate and help us improve our productivity…
just because your simplicity is packaged more elegantly than our mastery of complex tools doesnt mean your more productive or useful than the rest of us
btw: has anyone tryed to use excel on a mac… game, set, match

Woah!
Who upset you?
I agree with the rational things you’ve written – mastering technology etc, and you make a great point about all that. I too use all 3 mentioned OSes and enjoy each one for different reasons.
One thing I’d like to say though, that with Apple, it’s not so much the computer and the OS being the product….it’s the whole experience. Apple IS the product and many people want to be a part of that because their innovations are very inspiring. I think many people can’t express that notion as well as they might, thus they rave on about the things that ARE tangible to them, such as the ‘simplicity’ or the ‘coolness’.
So again, I agree with you, but why the attitude?
Having a bad day?!
