Well, the majority of people in the world are poor, overbreeding and not using contraception, but that doesn't mean that an intelligent minority shouldn't try something better if they have the opportunity. Macs are simply better, and they are networkable and compatible with the Windows boxes when such a thing is neccesary. Look at what's best individually, not collectively. Ever watch Star Trek? The Borg all follow a collective agenda. Maybe they use Windows? I'll stick with the Mac, and the hell with "the whole rest of the world." By the way, the Mac has a 60% marketshare in the internet development arena, and an 80% marketshare in the graphics/publishing community. Time magazine is pretty much entirely produced on Macs, and that is their main platform. If you are an accountant, fine -- use Windows. If you work in the creative or publishing/communications field, you're a fool to not us a Mac.
