I would like to address #3 from spiffcheese's list of truths. "3.) the average Mac user knows how to properly use his machine."
Yes, but do you know why? It's not because all Mac users are die hards from the 80's. Actually, there are few of us that have been faithul all the way through (but I have, and I'm damned proud of it). The reason all Mac users seem to have such a great handle on their computers is because of the most intelligent OS in history. Mac OS X revolutionized the way people think about using a computer. It is friendly and has simplicity to it's incredible complexity. Windows has been more of a chore than a joy to use for it's entire lifespan. Mac, however, is always looking for ways to improve the overall experience for the user. Have you ever used a Mac before? It's simple. It's actually fun to use. I'd rather learn about something fun, then something that frustrates me.
It's kinda funny. Most of the things that windows has come out with that are so ground breaking have been done by mac earlier. I know it's annoying to hear again, but the reason we keep saying it is because no one seems to be listining.
