Interesting demographics on Mac users

Who is the typical Mac user?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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" ?

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