Supplemental Question of the Day

[dogriver]

I know there are exceptions. Many of the exceptions are on my friends
list, in fact.

Why is it that so many Mac users are so intent on telling anybody and
everybody in every way they can that they're using a Mac?

Hi Bruce, I linked to your LJ from the Pac mate listserv. If I remember correctly, I also saw you on a list related to the Seeing Eye when I was considering going there for a dog. Anyway, mind if I add you to my friends' list? Anyone who wonders that about a Mac is worthy of being called a friend, especially considering I know some of the "exceptions" you mentioned! LOL! It's like I told my friend Jesse. I'm content with my Lenovo Thinkpad and don't intend to learn a new OS any time soon.

Because owning a MAC product is akin to driving a Porsche. It's a status symbol. If Apple is good at anything, it's marketing.

MACs started out as being for people in the creative industry because they run the graphics programs better. I'm not sure if that is true today, but my post-secondary education conditioned me to believe so. That is why I still use one. But hopefully I don't "boast" about it in the manner you describe.
