See that’s different. People who love their focus and are disciplined and rigorous about it are fine…. frequently tiresome (like me re: C++ frankly) but ok.

But the .net fanboys are the same people who 10 years ago would say “Why would you use anything but VB?” Then you give them a list of it’s technical shortfalls and they respond with “Well why would you want to do THAT?”

Of the fanboys i knew at university (and most computer engineers, programmers, and scientists seemed to be fanboys), the .net ones always struck me as the least crazed and yet most technically devoted their platform—more of a deep professional strictness than some kind of sexual orientation-like lifestyle decision.

But as a mac user myself, I follow the online discourse amongst mac users fairly regularly, and I am embarrassed every time by the absurdity to be found there. I’m ashamed every time the nonsense spills out to the larger interblag and makes all mac users look like arrogant morons.

Shit. I have one homemade computer with a big-ass monitor, and Windows XP. If that shit dies, I am screwed.

Excellent! Then my work here is done for the day.

I was marginally hoping it was a least a LITTLE funny and completely pissed off and venomous. ;-)

Laughing my ass off and nodding my head at the same time.
