Windows PC owners always pull the “Macs aren’t compatible with any decent software” card when bashing Apple. But that insult is clearly outdated if Barack Obama was able to win the U.S. presidency with a Mac as his computing weapon (while using iChat to stay in touch with his family, no less). And wait — there’s one more thing: Obama has his own official iPhone application! Can we all “think different” if we’re all using the same trendy gadgets?
I agree. 10 years ago (even more so 15 or 20 years ago) Mac users were a family. We got picked on. We wore our rainbow logos proudly, all had ponytails and earrings, and all loved the dogcow.
Today, there’s way more Mac users than ever before, which is great, but that ragtag, nomad feel is gone.
