I recently had a person approach me and tell me that my loyalty to Apple was like a religion. That comment of course was made as his 30 laptops in a hands on on presentation were found to have a really nasty worm and kicked off the network thus spoiling his workshop. There were a few of us that chose to not use his laptops but rather use our Powerbooks since the presentation was web based. I made the mistake of commenting that anyone that would like to was more than welcome to huddle around my 17" powerbook and we could continue the discussion. This presenter, who had never owned a Mac, took that as a direct PC dig. Although I have seen Mac Zealots make Mac fools of themselves from time to time it is far more the PC IT manager, that has not used a Mac since 1984 and lived through the DOS years cussing the command line inefficiencies of the Macintosh, that make the absolute fools of themselves. Those who read the studies on TCO and ignore the fact that Macs are less expensive in the long term. Those that still believe that Microsoft office on a Mac must be some kind of bastardized version created by Apple not the Benevolent Microsoft. Those home users who seriously believe that Windows Media Maker can compete with Apples iLife suite. I do see Mac Zealots but PC Weenies are just as bad and even more closed minded.
