It is funny, I live near Brown and whenever I go by the coffee shop across the street the window is lined with laptops and probably 9/10 of them are Macs.

Makes me feel sorry for the college kids who get into the real world and are forced to use Windows based PC's. (and torture their IT staff with Mac based requests. :P)

found that even the briefest exposure to well-known brands can cause people to behave in ways that mirror those brands’ traits.
e.g.: Act like a pretentious collegiate douchebag,who cares more about a marketing image than anything else.

^^^ or they could just stop being pretentious asses and learn how to use both. If you want my 2 cents, the world would be a better place if everyone understood how to use Unix.



edit: FWIW I use both Windows and Mac on a daily basis at my job.

Most people are far more concerned about the logo on their hardware than the OS that runs it. OS evangelism is a funny thing though. I can't count the times when I have gotten into arguments with people about which is best. Luckily I can switch my position as needed and argue for or against any one of them. :monkeydance:

I am far less of an OS purist than I am a greedy OS Whore that needs to dabble in all of them.

I love my mac
I know how to do a lot in my pc

when push comes to shove i would take a pc just due to the availability of programs for it. My mom recently bought a new dell, I installed windows xp on it and put in microsoft word 95 edition on, I found the floppy set in a yard sale for a few bucks. works just as good as the new word just less bells and whistles. Try finding iWork for really cheep, doubt you could find that.
