Welll... I used to be a suportive mac user until osx, which I chose to use from the first day it came out. I saw my mac loose all its power with that os (I used to think that if linux was super fast on a 486 pc, osx -another unix like os- would be ligthing fast on my pismo), as well as my unsuported scsi cd recorder, scanner and webcam.
I couldn't afford to buy a new mac, a new scanner, a new cd recorder and a new webcam, so I build my pc. For a fraction of the cost of a new mac. Despite all of the Micros***t things we all know, I'm very happy with what I have: complete database connectivity for my database driven websites, photoshop goes all the fast I need, the system is stable (no blue screens, etc...). I only miss two things from osx, which are multitasking (which feels like going back to os9, nothing I can do to workout that) , and the dock (but I've found and excellent replacement for that gadget).
But now I'm afraid... I'm afraid to drop here from time to time and see how fanatical and violent more and more mac users are becoming. I go to pc stores and when talking of mac nobody tells me they are sh*t, as we (when I was a mac fanatic) sistematically do with pcs...
That's dangerous, and doesn't put the mac world on a good level. As long as we can't face all the faces of a same reality (and not simply stick with one or other part of it), the world won't be a better place.
This lines were written on a pc... I think I still think different, besides what hardware or os I use...
