So what makes you think the term "PC users" was meant as a derogatory statement?
Should I have said "non-Mac users?"
Was there a more concise way for me to identify people who use PC's than "PC user?"
And since when is it smug to simply state that you belong to a friendly community?

"PC user" isn't PC.
It should be "Person of IBM-compatiblity"

Hey, if my Mac has an IBM Copper G3, that would include me too! :D

Firstly, as a Mac user I really don't feel that the rest of the world is against me. I think you misinterpreted cocoamix's post. All he meant to say was that the Mac community has stronger bonds compared to the Windows community. I also think that the same applies to the Linux community as well.

macs are PCs just as much as any other microcomputer. non mac users is much better. and it is smug to say the whole world is against you. making you all gang up against it.
No offence intended, by the way to anybody but i just feel like it's easy to sometimes forget there's a whole world out there.
