A really interesting article on an Apple Mac user

I came across this article by Kyle Steed one of my various Twitter feeds. It’s quite an interesting article from an Apple fan/user/whore user point which is precisely where I come in as I have an Apple sticker on the boot of my car

“Let me begin by stating that I adore my iMac, macbook and iPod that I use on a daily basis.”

“Now with that out of the way, I feel that the apple decal sticker you get when you purchase an apple product has become a sort of status symbol. You’ve probably seen them popping up on more and more cars lately. (The worst case I’ve seen was used to cover the logo on a DELL laptop.) But why do I think this? Because the first time I put one on my car I felt a certain puff in my chest that said: “Hey! Everybody look at me. I’m so sophisticated and cool because I use a mac.” That somehow because of this little apple sticker I knew something that the majority of people didn’t. And I was better than them. I even felt sorry for people that didn’t use a mac or worse, had never used a mac. I was holding macintosh up on this pedestal in my mind. (Sadly, I felt like this for a long time.) ”
