I wish the Mac users here were like the Mac users you know. :-) Just
mentioning IBM or DOS around the local users group will elicit a lot of angry
hisses.  I know as I had the pleasure of demoing SoftPC to them ;-) I have
seen Mac startup screens that put down the IBM, I have seen people use an IBM
icon as their trash can, and I even remember a shareware game from years ago
called 'Bash Big Blue' where you literally whacked the IBM corporate logo.

While most of this *is* in fun, it does reveal insecurities that many Mac
users still feel.  I don't know many Amiga owners, but none of those I do know
fit your description too well.

In any case, I don't think that any one group of computer owners is
particularly egregious in this way... sadly, I think we're all about
the same ;-)
