I've been reading mac news and rumors and so far i'm not amused.
It has its good moments when i actually get to see new products
come out of ridiculous rumors.
_ But it seems like im breaking some mysterious code of honor for being
an owner of a macintosh.
The mac community has revealed the bitter Mac OS 9 users,
the Mac OS X early adopters, cross platformers, the switcher,
the command line guru, the sequential artist and the do it
yourself user.
All these essentially make up the new mac os community.
The problem is none of them get along.
Thus we got whole forums intended for the purpose
of say "Longhorn screenshots" which turns into
a Mac vs. PC debate.
I see this on macnn as well. They post an article related
to the pc obliterating the competition. Which it does
all the time. It bugs me that i have to hear this gloating
every single moment of my existence.
Why don't you just ask the question on your mind, "why?"
Because we're mac users. We don't want to change to your platform.
And yes sometimes we have to use machines that have lower mhz, ghz
and cannot upgrade, we even get to use those pcs you mention in
the articles you enjoy finding.
I don't feel a sense of belonging anymore in the mac community.
It's like pounding on a wall and no one hears you on the otherside.
If i can't have people understand why im a mac user
than shouldn't we surrender to the enemy already?
