Are you a Mac person or a PC person?

Neither, I still use a can on a string to communicate.

So now you're telling me that it is infact up to the individual to determine what's best for them.

Do you know better than Steve Jobs?  :rolleyes:

No, I am telling you that you don't deserve a computer, much less the internet.  :rolleyes:

Here we go with the crypto-fascist tendencies again. You're turning into more and more of a totalitarian every day.  :hmm:

Mac user. I seem to follow the stereotype in all but wine. I love my pinot g. and zinfandel.  :Embarrass:

I thought it was beyond ridiculous (22% more than what?)
Actually, it's pretty clear what they meant.  :huh: The only question is whether they really mean % or base points.

My only beef: the analysis lacks the most crucial question/distinction.  :homestar:

Neither, based on the infographic's definition of that choice.

:lol:

Mac people are 21% more likely to be self-delusional, apparently. Where are these gearheads all hiding, and are they all running Debian on their Mac hardware?


On one hand, the Mac preference for a Vespa over a Harley makes me proud not to be one of them, but I can't say much for the PCers' wine choices.  :yuk:

I donèt see why that could not be the case - in general that is.

Remember who the majority of computer users are - joe average.  They go into Best Buy, or Walmart, and buy whatever generic POS PC they have in stock.

If you buy a Mac, youève at least given your computer purchase a bit more thought (since it is still a somewhat unusual purchase), and you have also spent almost double what a PC costs.  You may well consider yourself a bit more computer savvy.

That doesnèt mean every Mac user is more computer savvy than every PC user - far from it.  But in discussing generalitiesÉ
