I'm a smidgen bothered by the "Pro" part

The old sneer, of course, is that Macs aren't for "professionals": they come with training wheels and are for artists, chicks, children, and those not butch enough to deal with a user-hostile interface like Real Men do. Calling the Intel-based machine a "Pro" machine to me somehow buys into that: the idea that by surrendering to half of the Wintel Alliance, Macs are somehow now more professional. Or am I just oversensitive like the Mac-using wuss that I am?
