This coming from someone who read I 'enjoyed' the dodge neon, and thought of me as an idiot.

Anyway, Aredub, let's be honest here. You meet Joe. Joe has a mullet. A nascar shirt. He drives a rusty cavalier. He works GM plant, installing dash clusters. His favorite beer is budweiser. He uses an older compaq to get on the internet.

Now we meet John. John has a normal haircut. He wears a business suit. He drives a new BMW 5 series. He owns his own business, an advertising agency. His favorite beer is Heiniken. He uses a new G5 for the net, flash animation, web design, and photoshop.

Who do you think is more intelligent???

Exactly.

John. The moral of the story? YOU CAN pre-emptively get an idea of WHO a person is, based on their belongings, hobbies, and likes/dislikes.

My statement was that I observed mac users to usually be a bit more intelligent than pc users. that's it. I use both. I feel that they both have strengths and I use them for different things. It is a fact that a majority of apples market share is made of creatives. again, this is my observation. It is easy to make this obervation when you meet a bunch of mac folks because there are so few of them (like SVX owners).
I agree with everything you've just said.

I am a pessimistic optimistic. I think the worst is going to happen, that way when it does, i don't feel as bad, but if the best happens, i am twice as happy.

Having grown up in the former world and worked for the past 31 in the latter, I'd have to say I could appreciate the intellengence of each, according to their need to exist. If you put the former in the latter's job, they would come off as an idiot, and vice versa (as proven by Paris Hilton's attempt to work on a dairy farm). And, again, having met many "Johns" in my career, many of them "look" good, but are absolute mental midgets. Not to mention, when their B'mer dies, they have to turn it over to a "Joe" to work on it. It takes all kinds to make a world. Your comparison, obviously smacks of prejudice.

As far as "thinking of you as an idiot," it's impossible for you to KNOW what I was thinking, through any comment. Please refresh my memory on what you're talking about and I'll be happy to confirm or deny your assumption. To my recollection, I've never, in my tenure on this site, outright called anyone an idiot.

You need to get a clearer picture of the difference between the truth and your opinion. Until I see a shred of evidence, your biased opinion does not prove anything. You're prejudiced, and that's all there is to it.

I defy you to provide me with one bit of objective proof that Mac users are more intelligent. Until then, based on your ridiculous assertion, and using your methods, I'm going to conclude that anybody who would say such a thing is ignorant and, therefore, so are all Mac users.

PS Using imaginary people, based on your prejudice, doesn't prove your opinions to be fact.

Oh, and one more thing: based on my experience, not my opinion, given the option of hanging out for an evening with either of your two subjects, I'd rather swill Bud with Joe than sip Hiney with John, any day of the week. Joe (again, from experience, not opinion) would tend to be more "real." I appreciate "realness" in people, and loathe "plasticity."
