To quote another geek friend (long-time Unix admin, used to run Playboy's online store, now builds PDA interfaces for databases, so no talk about how he isn't a "real" geek), when I asked him why he had switched to an OS X laptop: "Hey, you have no idea what it's like to have a Unix laptop that just works."

I don't get angry at Apple for marketing themselves as though they were a luxury German high-speed vibrator. It's their right to market themselves however they like. But as long as they're making interesting technology that does useful things, I'll keep my eye on them.
