Anti-Mac Sentiment...

(1/6) > >>

hm_murdock:
Not sure if  this is the correct forum... but since it's not a discussion of hardware or OS, I figured this was the place.

Now, down to bidness. How many fellow Macheads have ever been personally insulted because of your choice of platforms? I mean, when someone goes beyond trashing Apple or our beloved Macs, and actually tears you down personally for being a Mac user.

And, on a similar vein. How many Linux guys have been insulted for not being a drone?

And the ultimate question... why can't people leave us alone to make our own choices?

Calum:
usually when people insult me for not using microsoft's stuff it is because i have droned on for ages about it to start with so it's really all my own fault!  :D

Pantso:
I can't say that I've ever been insulted by anyone because I chose to use non-Windows OSes. On the contrary when I was using Linux on my previous laptops everyone was really amazed by what I've told them and I'm actually very proud for having converted a few friends of mine to using Linux. Well they actually dual boot but let's not be ungrateful   .

Wait. I remember once a teacher of mine in an introductory class in Computers telling me that if I  was an IT and insisted on using Linux, I would stay unemployed   :eek: . Talk about ignorance   :D

preacher:
Ive never been laughed at because I use linux, in fact people assume that I must be extremely intelligent since I know how to work the command line.....lol

As a Mac user I have gotten shit from PC heads. I remember having this inane argument with my Aunt trying to explain to her why multi-media support on a Mac was supperior.

All she kept rattling off was "I've got MMX" like she had an Intel Inside sticker stuck to her forhead.

Many times I have gotten lip from l33t gamer d00dz who think the meaning of life is fragging people in half-life. Dood! Maks have no gamzzzz!!!!

Funny thing was, they started a LAN party and ended up using an OSX G4 as a server cuz they coulden't get the NT machine to work LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!
