Louithefish would like to talk to you about Jes….. Apple:

Today I was asked what makes Macs so special. I smiled and sat back and embarked upon what became a 20 minute rant about the benefits of Macs vs. PCs. I feel like whenever I’m approached about Macs or whenever I speak to other people about them, it’s like I’m talking to someone about their religion. It’s as if I said to someone, “I’d like to talk to you about Jesus Christ”. Not only do things tend to get awkward very quickly, but the overall relationship that might have been developing with that person tends to go south.

A non-Mac person just doesn’t give a rats ass about how great Macs are unless they really, really want one. Tonight I was fortunate enough to talk to someone who wanted to buy my MacBook from me (as I’m looking to purchase a MacBook Pro instead), but even as I spoke volumes to him about the wonderful software I’ve installed and care I’ve taken with handling and using this computer, his eyes began to glaze over after 2 or 3 minutes.

Maybe Mac people out there need to start a group like Jehovah’s Witnesses and go around collecting money for our Apple Fund. Maybe then we could actually afford half the neat stuff that Apple puts out…

Dude, we have already done this:
