I love how PC users try to make themselves feel better.

....way to prove the comics point.
Even though it was made in jest and the author himself is an avid fan of technology (PC or Mac) and that the character of Brent (the one speaking) is just the stereotypical insane Mac person who doesn't touch anything Windows or PC.
But, hey, what do I know? You use a mac and I typed this on a PC so you're better than me, right?
No. I take back my previous comment. I use both Mac and PC. I have a Macbook Pro and I have a set partition for each OS. The fact that Windows XP has much more flexability in terms of programs does not outweigh the risks of viruses/spyware/etc. and the overall cheap feel of the OS itself. Vista is a step up from XP, but personally as a user of both operating systems, I still find the Mac OS X operating system to be of much higher quality (not to be confused with Apple's hardware quality... that's a different ball of wax altogether).
Anyway, it just pisses the fuck out of me when people go off blasting the other side (whether it be computers, politics, cars, what have you), without stopping to look at the faults of the side they're on.
When I pick a side in something, I usually have it well thought out and evaluate differences, +'s and -'s included. PC vs Mac is kind of a no-brainer for me (I say "kind of" because Mac doesn't have EVERYTHING I need, therefore the XP partition), but maybe not for others. Different people just need different things when it comes to operating systems, so it's their choice. You NEVER will see me actively trying to recruit people to Mac. I think Apple's "switch" campaign is shitty as hell, and like I said: it's the person's choice.
Also: since when does homosexuality (H.O.M.O, no doubt the motive) have anything to do with what kind of computer you use?
Does that answer your question?
EDIT: On the portrayed "stereotypical mac user" you mentioned: I have never met someone so flamboyant about Macs, but things like this prove that there are PC users out there like that who go for the jugular over disliking a rival computer.

wow razor, calm down...Scott Kurtz (the strip's author) is a mac fan himself, and all he's doing is pointing out elements of the mac userbase like Brent (or yourself, it turns out...) who take the devotion of their computers to a fanatical level.
Basically, arguing it only digs you a deeper hole.

Did you not read my previous post? I just got through saying I take back my first comment in this thread and go on to list reasons why.
You still sounded pissed.

I'm not going to lie, I was, but I overreacted. Do you see my point, though?

It may not be very funny, but you're helping prove his point.
Funny, I just ordered a dual core Imac just now.

That site is so ironic I won't even start about it.
My post said nothing declaring about Mac vs. PC, only my opinion. I didn't try to push anything on you. I never did and I never will. My opinion is my opinion, and your opinion is your opinion. Enough said.

My opinion is clearly stated in my first post, and I stand by it. This should've been a god damn PNG because GIF is so inferior.
Other than that, you've got 36% of the posts in this thread.

I have a PC laptop and Mac Mini -- I wish the Mac Mini could dual-boot. That shit is kewl, it's the best of both worlds.

The second day that I owned the Mac Mini, it froze-up on me. And the bluetooth keyboard does thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii this from time to time. And sometimes the the bluetooth mouse is real slow-tracking and jerky. And just those two peices of hardware costed $130usd from Apple.
But Apple's marketing department has done a great job selling a 'Lifestyle".
yeah an alternative lifestyle

Heh yeah, I've had nothing but bad luck with Macs. I think I have a knack for making them crash horribly whenever I'm within a few feet. Windows, however, almost never falters for me. Just a personal thing I guess.

It's exactly the same for me with Macs (I never have errors with them), but then again Windows doesn't always crash for me.
