I love watching PC people go haywire when they encounter them. There is another forum I visit, and those folks are absurdly PC, at least they are sure they are. LOL |

I'm not really sure about those, man. I think those are douchebag stereotypes, not political ones. I see just as many right-leaning people with those (minus maybe the birkenstocks) but I'd say that, in general, they're tools more than they are liberal (or conservative). |

The first time I read that post I thought you were talking about PC computers, not politically correct people.

Probably a hybrid these days instead of a VW. Mac -- check iPod -- check iPhone -- check Starbucks -- check hybrid -- check Birkenstocks -- no, even more laid back are Ohana flip flops |

I'll freely admit that yes, they do put a good computer together. ...least now they do, anyways. If I were in the market for an out-of-the-box computer right now I'd definitely go with a Mac. |

I started using a Mac in 1986 -- and I was a conservative then as well. |

True dat. I used Mac mostly for graphic support of architectural design and for word editing. I had to switch over to PC to run autocad since the CAD programs in Mac were crap. |
