i don't hate macs p
er se-- i hate the HYPE that covers up the fact that
macs are very far from perfect. mac acolytes would have you believe that mac is their savior from outer space, and it isn't. this probably has to do with a) good marketing, b) the psychology of having spent a ton of money in a product "marries" you to it.
so i think the secret of my
mac realism is that i didn't pay a cent for it-- therefore i am not blinded by my financial "commitment". i am able to look at it past the hype. it doesn't hurt my self-image to say "oh, this here sucks".
and macs do have problems. tons of them.

if all those problems were attributable to bad chips, then bad chips would be quite the plague. but no-- it's simpler than that-- it's just that steve jobs is not baby jesus, and can't do magic.
