, 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:

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?
