Interesting demographics on Mac users
 

Who is the typical Mac user?

Guilty as charged.

They needed to do a study to figure that out?

12 years in IT listening to Mac users sugaring their own churros....dear lord.

You can't believe some of the kool aid drinking rants I have heard. Some of them actually implied that 'you IT guys' are part of some kind of global conpiracy against Mac. LOL. Loonies.

Mac, PC, Vax, I don't care. They all run Linux fine :)

I want to know if every mac user drives a VW or if every VW driver uses a mac.

Exactly. ;)

I don't have anything against Macs themselves, but none of the software I need runs on them. The reason for that is simple, it isn't worthwhile to any of the companies whose software I use to make a Mac version.

I wonder how many Mac users drive Priuses, refuse to shop at WalMart, and vote Democrat down the ticket? They seem to be a small group of people with a big superiority complex. :eek:

This is the BIGGEST surprise Since Rosie said she was a lesbian, stunning!:cool:

Can anyone explain to me why girls with PCs always date guys with Macs? That drives me nuts!!

The MAC guys are genetically superior I hear.

Now that's about enough! Ya' gotta draw the line somewhere & this is it!:p

"word on the street" I should say.....

Couldn't they have just said they were metrosexuals and saved a lot of airtime?

By 'Metrosexual' do you mean two steps away from taking up the wazoo from another guy that likes to wear woman's clothing?

i'd like to see the reaction to this study on Samba. Maybe on some 'hiking' forums as well.

I own three Macs, drive a diesel VW (because it pollutes more), and vote Libertarian down the ticket.

Oh, and I am superior. :D

Using a Mac is like riding a scooter or banging a fat chick. It might be OK, just don't let your friends see you.

And what would that SW be?

Rumba
Aion
HP ServiceDesk
Rational Clearcase

I own 15+ Macs, including a new, 20th Anniversary Macintosh STILL NEW IN THE BOX. None of you wankers have any business even being in the same forum as me.

LOL. ...now what was that they were saying, on the vid, about "a strong need for recognition" ? :D

Mac's don't support tablet input nearly as well as Windows, same for 3-D apps.

Or do simple things like print text in less time than it takes to type it.

Those will all run on a Mac. Just faster.

How so? By running virtual windows?

How about SolidWorks?

BootCamp or Parallels. Your intel-based Mac will boot Windows as a native OS. Anything that will work on a PC works on a Mac.

So they will all hook into the proper channels on my network without any fussing with configuration? (If they work at all...) None of these applications are stand-alone and require various hooks into different kinds of servers (Unix and zOS) to work. You're telling me that a Mac can replicate all of Windows built-in network connectivity too?

Aion, MMORPG. Not really a business need now is it?

The balance are highly specific to corp enterprise applications. A market that Apple does not service so partially correct. I don't go to my Harley dealer looking for 4 door sub compacts.

But since those apps do run on Linux, which is a native OS for Power PC and Intel Macs the hardware is certainly useable. I am not talking emulation or virtualization here, but Linux running native on the box. Oh yeah, XP and Vista run native as well so again you could use the hardware, if you wanted to.

island,


Tablet input? Where'd you get that one from? Never heard that before.

Elaborate please.

Wrong. I've never heard of a game called Aion.

Well I am in the Video Games business so that's the first thing I thought of.SmileWavy

What does your Aion do?

Just saw the link.

CA product?

Know a thing or three about them.

Now I'm embarrassed, I did a stint as their Creative Director. Never heard of that product before.

BTW, used my Mac there every day. They did not even know it was on the network.

I'm an atheist conservative with a gasoline powered can opener . . . and a Mac user since 1984.

Do I fit the the stereotype? :D

Best,

It's a rules-based programming language.

They fell off a truck or something? ;):rolleyes:

Kinda puts it in perspective, don't it?

Mac tech support for 7 years.

I own 3 PC's.

Heretic!!!;)

I don't know but it seems that the PC users are the first to criticize Mac users.

Could it be an inferiority complex?

How any threads you ever see started by a MAC user criticizing PCs?

Yeah, I hear that. I have been starving for years but am so attached to how cool my Mac makes me that I figured it was worth it.

It's just so difficult to get by on a 6 figure salary. Personally grossed north of $200k last year from work done on my Mac.

Gave my overflow work to a bud, put $130k in his pocket for FY07. Kept 10% for the lead and managing the client.

Worked on a rush project Fri/Sat. Gave the client a deal on it. $10k for two days work. Really sucks.

Times are so tough.
