I wouldn't have included you in the category that I was talking about as it specifically relates to those particular people. I think more than anything else I meant to simply draw the parallels between what are two large corporations with singular principles and as long as people don't believe that just because a Mac isn't a Microsoft product then it's somehow, and I use the word for the lack of a better one, ethically better then it isn't. If you have no problem with that corporate model then in all fairness you're probably better off with a Mac because they're far more stable, the OSX is better built and the hardware is pretty damn good, and if style is your thing then they're also good.

I like the functionality of OSX. I hate the Windows OS, i hate the way it lets you down. My Macs rarely do that. They are expensive, but they're well built (generally) and they are quick with design aps (trusting you have the RAM). Don't get me wrong, I'm a sucker for design, so the Mac styling really does it for me, too. I have an 5G iPod too, and Mrs. tyger has a Nano, so we're suckers, I guess. I understand where you are coming from re. people who hate Windows, but hate Windows because it's a bit of a wreck and unstable, not because of some conformist pretensions. Excel is shit on a Mac, though... I’m a Mac user, as you know.
