Mac a wonderful machines and I own a MacBook Pro which I am very happy with. I have had Mac's since 1992, switched to P.C for a brief time then immediately back, sufficed to say I will never own a P.C on my own free will again. But this Fanboy stuff has got to stop. As consumers the only power that we have is our weapon of discontent. Apple has all the control and how are we going to encourage them to continue building better and far superior products, by letting them know where their faults lie. Go onto Apple blogs and complain that your iphone is on a horrible network with awful service, complain that exchange just does not perform like it is supposed to or whatever problems that you have. The fanboy in all of you needs to suck up its pride and realize that while Mac is great it is not omnipotent and there is always room for improvement. In closing who really gives a flying rat's ass if everybody in the world owns a P.C and you are the only Mac user on the planet, be quietly content knowing that you own a superior machine and that it is your money that was well spent.

It has yet to reach that level again. What saved Apple as a company was the iPod. Speaking of the 90’s, Mac’s sales peaked at 13% of total PC sales in 1994 then went into a rather steep decline.

As for the Unix under-the-hood thing, as a Linux user and scripter, I can tell you the Mac Terminal is a castrated way of issuing Unix commands, lacking many useful ones you'd get on a real Unix. What else? Oh, plus you're tied to use Apple's ridiculously overpriced and mediocre hardware, as well as being tied to what is ultimately a closed source OS. And in this regard, Apple is just as greedy as MS, perhaps greedier.

Personally as a Mac user for the last 12 years, I still shy away from the attention I get from putting my Macbook on the table or even walking in to an Apple Store. I feel like people stereotype me as one of those Apple FanBoys which has been given a really bad rap from all the people you have written this article for. I don't want to be associated with one of those dorks that just go out and buy the newest Jobs Gadget because he's our savior (angel's sing). I want to by a Mac because it's the best. I don't care about Apple's market share or stock price, I just want to be sure that my OS works better than the other guys', Ives is doing his best design work and the R&D department at Cupertino is forging forward with breath taking advancements in the personal computer industry as they had done in the years prior to the iPod's take over of the company.

Why don't we just humbly admire macs instead of engaging in a fight with windows users. For me, I'd rather be friend with them and tell them how good a mac is. Doing this, they're likely able to listen with open minds and not fighting back. Peace out! I really like what you said in #4. that’s what I mostly found in the discuss between mac and windows.
