Ive never really liked mac, and i think the reason has been hit on the head exactly. The cult following of mac Pushers makes me stray away from their products even more. Whenever a friend tries to 'sell' me a mac the only 2 sales points i get is: you can get it in black now and you can run windows. Congratulations i say, you just decribed every computer on the planet. No-one has ever said to me i should buy a mac because its good or it has some awsome feature. Although im a girl, the so called prettiness of mac is not going to dictate my computing or mobile needs. And for the record they're not that pretty.
