In Spain, mac users are called macbores. They look for real ale, only speak English, are old and use very expensive computers. Oh, and have a beard. Is that the case elsewhere?
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. 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. 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. And not all of us have beards.
