Indoctrination runs deep
For decades, non-Mac users have been trying to explain away
why Mac users are excited about their machines and PC users are
not. The obvious answer: that the Mac is a better computer is
unacceptable because it means they would have to admit to
spending good money on crap. So, instead, they declare the Mac
user irrational.
