Yes, we, Mac users, think of ourselves very highly. We are converse-wearing, picture-taking, indie-music-obsessed snobs.
We often feel the need to advertise for Apple, be it their Macbooks, iPhones, iPods and whatever else Steve Jobs has got planned to take over the world. Exhibit A: recently, my flatmate's HP Notebook died-ed and I found myself constantly persuading her to buy a Mac. It went along the lines of "You'll never get virus wan, you know" and "It's not that hard to use, seriously" and "The white colour wan so niceeee".
And when we are not advertising, we wait for someone to talk about it, so we can prove how much we know about Apple products. It'll probably sound something like this, "iPhones have blablabla and its damn useful when you need to blablabla" and after every statement, you pause, as if letting your audience digest the awesomeness of THE iPhone and give them time to think "DAMN, this guy is so cool cos he uses an iPhone".
I must admit, when I take out my Macbook in public, I feel quite good about myself. When I see fellow Macbook users in public, I feel like we are somehow connected, like we're all part of a conspiracy that no one else knows about and in my head, I'll be like "oh yeah, that guy confirm damn cool wan". I know, quite sad right. But then, when I see a Macbook Pro, I stoop down 3 levels lah, so I do have a little bit of humility.
I find that when it comes to Apple stuff, you can either be a lover or a hater. There is no in between, just the two extremes. BUT, I shall sit my skinny butt on the fence and tell you that Apple's not that great. I recently came across an article about 25 reasons NOT to buy an iPhone, which deserves a read cos it is hee-lah-ree-us! Read it here.
Okay whatever, Sa. Bottomline is, my Mac can kick your computer's ass and you ain't got nuthin on me!
