Are we masochists?

Wired seems to think we Mac users are. Lowendmac disagrees and calls windows users masochists. Here

Well, it's all realtive, isn't it? I mean, from either side, the other half looks like an extreme . .Mac zealots vs. Wintel drones. It really all depends on your point of view.

Well, I don't think that wired's article was in any way insulting to Mac users. It simply states that we Mac users worldwide, develop an addiction to our beloved Macs, which is also true. Hell, I'm addicted to my Mac as well and thank god i'm not the only one!   :D

It is strange indeed! I've owned a lot of PCs in the past as well as laptops but I don't miss any of them. I still have a desktop PC loaded with SuSE Linux 8.0 but I rarely switch it on cause I always use my iBook (hehe)!   :D

I got addicted to a certain Mac. After I traded my sister my Centris for her more powerful Performa I began to miss the Centris and just recently traded back. Now I'm stuck with a small monitor, 256 colors, and menus you have to hold down on to keep open, but for some bizarre reason I love it.
