That’s the power of the Apple cult. Apple can even bankrupt their fanboys (and they literally did that), but they will keep sticking with the it, even to their own detriment. Reminds me of millions of not-exactly-rich people who keep voting for a certain party that only favors the super-rich… Masochism?
Papi, with all due respect, that’s just an insane statement that has no bearing with reality of most of the pros I know who use Macs. It doesn’t do you justice to make such asinine statements. Most of those pros simply want to get a job done, they have families, they have bills, they have lives, and they don’t give a flying @#$% about Mac vs Windows. And they are doing just fine professionally, thank you very much. The ones I know make videos, films, art, games and yes, music, and don’t ever bother with forums. The time they save by not reading threads like this is used to make more films and music. They use computers that you might laugh at and insult for one trite reason or another: Gee, they spent too much money! Gee, my computer can do 50% more plugins! Gee, they are _____! – etc… fill in your old tired insult here.
Yes, there is a cult out there, it’s way smaller than you think, and everyone I know who uses Macs isn’t part of it, we don’t care, it doesn’t matter. And while you’re calling people out on cults, you may want to re-evaluate the guy staring at you in the mirror about why you feel the need to vent so much on this topic. Why don’t you just go do what you’re probably much more talented at, and make music? Isn’t it enough that we all share the same DAW app to be digging at a bunch of people who simply prefer one platform over another? And those guys are not going to bother with responding here in this forum, so it’s easy to cast stones at them.
I’m simply wasting my time responding because I used to be on the other side, and I’m sick and tired of people characterizing Mac people as cultists. It’s simply ignorant and frankly trite. I’m sure you are capable of recognizing that some people are just not like you and have different preferences in life – that doesn’t make them smarter or dumber or better or worse than you. Surely, there are more important things to intelligently criticize people about, like politics, but you irrationally tied politics to Mac-fanboyism and has no place in this forum. Seriously, your posts are making me re-evaluate how I look at your other posts in this forum, that I normally look at with respect for your intelligence.
And honestly, I’m so sick of reading these types of threads, I’m checking out of this thread. Watching cute kitten videos on YouTube is more worthwhile at this point.
I’m totally with you, we’ll said. No one is slandering Windows here, I never did. Windows has crashed on me over the past 20 years, but who’s system hasn’t?? I never once said I get blue screens (someone is imagining things). Win 7 has been good to me. Like you said, it doesn’t matter how we get the job done, as long as it works and gets the bills paid. Certain people don’t like to hear that Mac works for us, but that’s their problem.
