I can't for the life of me figure out these diatribes.  What difference could
it possibly make to this person which computer another chooses to use?  What
makes his choice more "real" than another's?  A computer is a tool (and toy,
of course).  It is inherently no better or worse than any other tool so long
as it does what the owner wants.  If an Apple user likes what he has, why not
just leave him alone in his pleasure?  For someone who accuses others of
confusing computers with religion, why is he trying so hard to proselytize?
