| More Mac Vs. PC Ammo Fer Ya Here's a new one: After someone that barely knows anything about computers tries to explain to you that you're foolish for using Macs, you can say, "Well. The Editor In Chief of PCWorld owns a 12" Mac Powerbook." Check out this month's issue. Cheers.  Doug

| They only tell you that you are foolish to use a Mac because they are insecure about their own choice of computer and to make themselves feel better they try to denigrate your choice. The only reason it would upset you is that you are insecure about your choice of computer. After using many different computers with various OS's I am very confident in my choice of the Mac. Try not to take it personally. Do not give them the satisfaction. Why do you feel the need to defend yourself when you know you are right? Just tell them that you are happy with your computer and hope that they are happy with theirs.

| speedfreak - you're absolutely right... there's no point getting emotional about the whole pc vs. Mac thing... ...but it's still nice to be able to say "well, it's interesting that editor of pc world etc. etc."!!

| I didin't say I get upset when someone does that to me. It is, however, unsettling! Makes me wonder what these people are thinking. And, as applewhore wrote, it's nice to be able to say, "Well, I'm not the only fool that uses Macs. There's also that silly. . . EDITOR IN CHIEF OF PCWORLD." Wink wink. Doug

| Steve Jobs used to use IBM laptops right when he came back to the company.

| Hmm. . . Running OpenStep, huh? I wouldn't mind owning a Thinkpad--as long as it was running Linux. Doug
