I am an "Apple fan" in that I like many Apple products (though also loath some others, such as their mice). But to me it is about what tool serves me best... I do not really care much about their leaders (though Jobs did have an incredible level of insight / understanding of computing AND was an unbelievable ass). > Apple has created a culture where people are willing to grossly overpay for > a product they deem superior.

There are absolutely things I do not like about Macs... the fact I cannot (easily) even replace a hard drive is absurd. But overall they serve me better at a lower price than the competition, so I use them. > Linux's culture is composed mainly of people on some kind of religious > pilgrimage against the establishment and the sad part is the things that > Linux does well gets lost in all the noise from the community. A lot of truth to that. In COLA we see a very cult-like mentality, and it is hardly unique to this group. > It's almost impossible to read articles about Linux without having to read > crap like this RonB kook writes, or similar.

A cult. > Windows fits neither of these molds, at least from my experience. > Maybe that's one reason why the Windows Usenet groups are stagnant? Windows is the "norm" -- meaning few will get excited by it. -- Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger. They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again. <https://youtu.be/H4NW-Cqh308>
