A dearth of merriment

Lileks points out something I've noticed, too. Mac users tend to be really happy about there computers. PC users describe their computers as "fine" or "really nice", every once in a while "screamingly fast".

"I love the ads for the fury it will encourage in the hardcore PC world – the guys who’ve modded their cases with neon and smokepots, who run some OS so cool it doesn’t have an icon on the developer’s page because that would violate the collaborative ethos, and who spit thumbtacks when you point out how seamless and cool the Mac experience is."

Cool. When was the last time an HP was called "cool"? And this is a Dell rumor site? Lame, compared to what there is for Apple rumors.

Maybe there is something to "Happy Macintosh Developing Time", after all...
