tommy - sounds more like your bf is really saying
he's not ready for os x yet. or more specifically, he's not ready to learn something new. Hey, at least you're in an all mac relationship.
tormente - nice confessional. i really liked that. getting this stuff off our chests does have a somewhat cathartic effect, doesn't it?
and while i think you guys pretty much know me well enought to read between the lines and realize i'm not anit-geek, your replies reassured me some that i hadn't gotten too out of hand.
to be sure - i'm not trying to knock geeks in general. the world would be a much less cool place without you guys. but there is a difference between being a geek and being a
geek if you know what i mean.

and obviously i have enjoyed a lot of geek company by hanging out here for the last year. i would even admit that some geekiness has rubbed off on me. but when cpu speeds and video cards and cache sizes get in the way of us all getting along as a community of mac users, then it is time to figure out what is wrong i think. maybe you'll come back for part 2 - mac users vs. multiplatform users.
