The art of being a Mac fan

"The Cult of Mac," recently released by No Starch Press, illustrates a culture of Apple Computer devotees still very alive. How so-called Macheads reveal their allegiance is a matter of artistic expression.

Recent Switcher

I made the switch about 2 months ago - selling my bleeding
edge, home-built PC for a new 1.8Ghz iMac G5. Am I happy with
my choice? I sure am but my public visual advertising only goes
as far as putting one of those white Apple logo decals on my
car's rear window : )

FRANK, dude, what are you smokin man?
1. Intel's watered down Pentium (Celeron) is frankly impossible
to beat a 64 BIT PowerPC G5 chip that comes with the latest G5
iMac.
2. G5 iMac comes with the LATEST video graphics card for an
AIO desktop (GeForce FX 5200) www.apple.com/imac
3. *** are you scanning the Cult Of Mac Book photos if you are
a POC peecee user who hates Macs? (Bi-Platform Curious?)
4. PC Magazine gave the G5 iMac the EDITOR"S CHOICE AWARD
2004 for EXCELLANCE www.pcmag.com/article2/

5. http://www.apple.com/imac/reaction/
6. Get the Facts Franko before you show your ignorance about a
product that you've never used.

Typical cnet pro-mac article. Do you think any other OS/Hardware geeks express such devotion? I think so. I see hundreds of sites like these:
Windows ?Cult? Modders ? showing off "artistic expression".

You will never see cnet do a story for pro-windows users. I wonder why? You'd think they would since there is so much more content and interest for the story. Typcial.
