Here is the problem with people like Freddie. He assumes that every computer user is like him with enough time on their hands to sift through their registry, update their virus protection, label mac users and post a thousand letters of absolute nonsense to Salon.com and im sure a thousand other sites.
Some points:
Freddie is embarassed to pull out his ugly PC at the coffee shop, airport lounge, etc.
Freddie has absolutely no understanding the computers have evoloved from the basement to being an important part of our everyday lives.
Apple's stock continues to skyrocket and their market share continues to grow because they have something that PC makers and the guys in Redmond will never understand. DESIGN.
That is really what it all comes down to. The marketing and the glitz, the ipods and the specs, its all really bullsh*t when it comes down to it. The simple fact that no FREDDIE will ever be able to overcome is that Apple blows away the competition with design.
When you are intelligent enough to use a Mac, and are not wasting time replying to your own letters on Salon.com, you are amazed almost everyday at the little, to huge design decisions that make owning a Mac or Apple product such a joy. That is what you pay for. They all use the same stupid parts from Intel, Fujistu, whatever, the point is that guys Macbook shits on your winbox, you know it, your upset and you vent it on the internet, in the basement with lights turned off and the blinds pulled tight, so no one will be able to see what a sad thing your black heart has made you become.
