    , has penned a delightful screed against Macs and the people who love them, saying:

    I hate Macs. I have always hated Macs. I hate people who use Macs. I even hate people who don’t use Macs but sometimes wish they did. Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

    He does, however, point out that:

    Besides, that’s what we PC owners are like – unreliable, idiosyncratic and gleefully unfair.

    So there you have it. PC lovers are O’Reilly types while Mac lovers are flitting freebirds that wing from icon to icon like Joni Mitchell at an LA wine-tasting party. What say ye, dear readers?
