Default For the Mac elitists

It isn't because your gear is so much better, it's because no one gives enough of a damn to exploit them.

yeah, we are just starting to see Mac bugs and flaws because there is actually enough of them out there for people to start giving a damn.

As I posted earlier, I've seen more PC elitism on discussion boards, rather than Mac elitism.

I guess you aren't on any photography forums then. In other forums I find that Linux elitism is rampant.

Linux is definitely the worst. Mac a close second, I don't see much Microsoft elitism on the net. Mostly MS bashing.

I meant forums like car, bike, and other "male-dominated" hobby forums I've been on. Usually with these guys it's always about how great their custom-built PC is, how much money they saved (but probably spent more time)........But the biggest thing I notice is that they go on and on about how stupid someone would have to be to buy a Mac, and that Mac owners must have only bought it for the image, and that they are sheep, etc. etc.

In contrast, most Mac owners I know stick to themselves, and don't actively diss PC's unless they are attacked first.

Macs are so much nicer. I just had an argument with a guy on another board about this like 3 days ago. He tried comparing the lowest mac to the lowest HP laptop as an argument though.
