Of course we’re snobs. All the cool kids work on Macs and listen to their music on iPods. I secretly judge everyone by the color of their headphones.

You know, I’m perfectly happy to be a Mac-using snob if it means I never have to think of using Windows again.
And I’m incredibly jealous of your Macbook Air.

And Burger King has free Wifi, but no Bob Marley tunes like Starbucks. Just saying…

I’m on my Mac at Starbucks reading this. Really. It’s my vacation hideaway from “those” people I live with. Later I’ll hit the local brew pub that also has free Wifi.
And I love my Mac (and my brews).

Mac users pay more for a computer that uses the same processor as a PC, and that LOOKS thinner than a Thinkpad because the edges are tapered.
Snobbery is a kind of stupidity.

Once, the Geek Squad came to my house (I kid you not) and they spent the whole visit trying to tell me why I needed to splurge and buy a Mac. However, I just wondered if I paid them a few extra dollars, would they let me ride in their Geek mobile…

It’s a total fact that Mac users are snobs. I’m the living myth that proves it.

I used to be a mac snob cause that’s where I started. But, then I had a job interview and they asked me if I’d recommend mac or pc and of course I said mac.
What did they buy? A pc of course! So I learned to work on both. I’m still partial to macs but I can work on both and be quite happy.

I’m still not convinced I’ll ever be converted to the laptop realm. I can’t seem to function without a ton of hardware around me, cocooning me in.

Yes. Mac users are the worst kind of rub-their-superiority-in-your-nose snobs.
And I want to be one of them.

A Mac is like a Lexxus, and I can only afford a Mazda.

I made the mistake of asking a Mac person what LINUX was the other day and I was met with a barrage of techspeak that would have made Orwell roll in his grave. I was then informed that I was supporting a corrupt industry by having a Microsoft based computer and that I was contributing to the downfall of WEstern Civilization. So, yes, I’ve encountered the Mac snob.

My son got a Powerbook his sophomore year in college and now he’s too good to hang out with the rest of the reg’lar folks. He wasn’t home more’n a coupla days and the pretty young thang next door wanted him to take her out and do you know he flat refused to do it? Now I know he’s gone and gotten all educated up at that fancy college, but she’s still family dammit! She was good enough for him when he was eleven and lookin’ to get …

Mac fan here. I love them and have had great experiences at the Apple store. I haven’t noticed the snobbiness of Mac-users, but could that be because I am one?

I have macs at work and a pc at home. As long as I can do what I want I love them both. There you go.
Also, that smiley face on the left hand side bounces up and down and makes me dizzy.
Just thought I’d share.

OH! I was so happy when I got my laptop last spring (even tho it’s a lowly PC that would NEVER be mistaken for a pen).
Thanks for that wi-fi link. Free wi-fi gets me going like nothing else.
