No, here in the US mac users realize that the Mac OS is a unix implementation that many linux distros /could/ look like if the desktop were properly designed and didn't drag the user through an infinite series of painful updates.
hehe ... too bad the Apple hardware has to be proprietary ...
And we look for real ale and real tequila and are old and realize that time is money and that therefore spending an extra couple hundred bucks on a mac that works flawlessly and forever is a better investment of time and money.
amen! And for me now Win7 is also more reliable than any of various installations of Suse (going back to 9) have ever been as a personal workstation
And some of us mac users also screw around with linux on the side, get real work done with it, and understand its limitations but don't feel compelled to drink the open source kool-aid and realize that software developers sometime need to make a buck for all of that hard work.
Linux supporter, not believer, here ... participate when I can, advocate its use where it makes sense to me, keep a personal linux desktop (that is being used less and less, unfortunately)
And not all of us have beards. Is that the case elsewhere?
no beard -- and don't own a Mac, either -- and resist the proprietary experience. But bought my kid a MAC laptop when he went to college, and it was an EXCELLENT choice and worth every penny.
