Interesting Look at the Cult of Mac
Interesting doc. It kind of came off like a movie about Star Trek fans which I guess was the point. Mac users are the new trekkies. I never realized the range of people who were Mac users and fans and the amount of fanaticism. Alot of the fans are a little too overzealous about Macintosh computers and I think very elitist. I can see why. It's an underdog position with Mac users still a minority in the world of computers. I wish the doc had spent more time speaking to pc users and their perspective on the Mac phenomena. I admit, I kind of wish I had been a Mac user when there were still these Mac communities.
I own an iMac20 from '06. Best purchase I ever made. When I finally got a little money, I wanted to buy a top of the line PC cuz that's all I ever knew. I was basically new to computers anyway and had only been using them since the late 90s plus my internet connections were always pretty slow because of my locations. As a musician, my friends leaned on me to get a Mac though it cost alot more than I intended to spend. After numerous demonstrations from friends and Apple stores, I gave in and got my Mac. It totally replaced most of my digital recording equipment. I've been able to create more music in the last 3 yrs on my Mac than the 6 yrs prior. There's no way I could ever fully go back to pc though I still maintain one for certain things like MicroSoft Word, PowerPoint emails that people send me and a little bit of gaming.
