I can't believe the guy who made that graphic has the nerve to call the Mac user a geek who sits on the sofa in his undies all day, while simultaneously admitting he is a member of the 'PC gaming community'.
I switched from PC to Mac in 1999. I have never regretted it for a day. I don't see why I should have to build my own PC to get somthing that doesn't look like an invader in my front room. You don't have to self-build your telly to get something that looks nice, so I don't see why I should have to build a PC. I want something that looks good, works as soon as I switch it on and does what I want it to do. If I have to pay more for that convenience, then so be it. We all do it, every day of the week. It's a mystery to me why people suddenly get so anal over it when it comes to computers. Yes, I'm sure you could have made it yourself using just two aubergines. The point is, why should I have to? Every other piece of consumer electronics I have ever owned, I have bought the model off the shelf that does what I want it to do. No difference here.
Actually I think if it were possible to conduct a time-travel and memory-wiping experiment we might find the self-build brigade would be the ones who would have been in to building their own crystal radios and then laughing smugly at the fools sat round the over priced, mass produced, valved wireless in the living room.
