Complaint After Complaint

I’d like to begin this by saying that I have a mac and am totally clueless when it comes to windows because I never learned to use a windows operating system. People like myself tend to stick with what they know. People who are into graphic design or photography also tend to buy macs. That’s fine.
Then there’s the kids who buy them because they so desperately want to be a “mac person.” They want to sit on a couch at a coffee house with that apple logo all aglow for passers by to marvel. These kids spend thousands of dollars to look cool, only to have to learn a new operating system when they were probably more comfortable on the old one.
I once went as far as to ask the workers at the apple store if they ever make fun of the kids who come in and buy macs clearly with no real use for them and no clue how to use them. Not only did these guys admit to me that they are quick to tease once the customers have left the store, but I then heard stories about teenage kids walking in and buying 17” powerbooks with cash and when asked what they planned to use them for responding “surfing the web mainly.”
YOU’RE SOOOOO COOL.
If these computers are legitimately your thing, or you have a real professional or recreational use for their specific benefits, that’s one thing, but buying such an expensive electronic device for the sake of your faux-hipster image is pathetic. Personally speaking, spending over a grad to look cool is about as awesome as getting breast implants and claiming your new DDs give you better self-esteem.
