[QUOTE="hafrogman, post: 4131142, member: 8858"] Sorry, we really have lead this thread off-topic. I blame insufficient adulation in our childhood. There is an interesting companion point to the original article. I find myself behaving in a different manner in response to those who behave in the way described here. The more you sing the praises of something as if it were the greatest thing ever, the more I will have to rail against it. I'm the lone PC user in a household with 3 Mac roommates, and I often find myself cracking mac jokes and poking holes in their adorations just to rile them up a little. :) Then in a moment of almost lucidity, one of them asked me what it was I hated so much about Apple. But the key is, I don't actually. I don't care what system you use, whichever makes you personally happier is cool with me. But I just feel that someone has to stand up against the rising tide of Mac love that threatens to drown my house from time to time. :lol: [/QUOTE]
