Hm. Never knew Ed was so anti-mac
I'm a PC user and my main box runs Yoper linux. I've been on PC's my whole life, and I like the mentality involved, that whole "oh, it broke, I'll just throw this standardized part in and all will be fixed" thing.
I'll be going to college next year, so I'll need a laptop. I'm in love with linux and I think I'll be setting up my current main box to be a server, so I can ssh back home and access everything I need. Since I'd be writing term papers and stuff on my laptop, buying one through the school gives me that extra bit of insurance, you know, if the thing dies a day before a major paper is due, I can't really get yelled at as badly for not having it in.
My school will offer the standard selection of Dells, as well as the standard Apple selection. What am I leaning towards? One of those tiny iBooks. Why? Because it's easy to carry around, runs OSX which is close enough to linux as far as I'm concerned, and I don't need thundering power. I need portability and stability.
Yeah, I can't play games on it, but that's what my current project is for, making a lan/college comp for doing my goofing around on.
So not all people who are of the Mac persuasion are stupid,or people only concerned with the aesthetics.
PS: the caressing ipod thing was funny though. I'll never look at an ipod the same!
