Apple I can live with. I used their products for years, and left them when they started becoming too restrictive.

Apple users though, they really drive me up the wall. They take everything personally. It's almost as though they define themselves by a corporation and its products. It doesn't matter how often you reassure them that you are not picking on Apple, because you would raise the same points against other businesses that behave in the same way. Heck, it doesn't even matter how often you raise the same criticisms at other businesses when they do behave the same way. It's always us vs. them.

I know that there are some Apple users who defy the odds. I know that there are some Apple users that aren't emotionally attached to pieces of silicon and copper. But sometimes it becomes hard to believe because the vocal ones are so vocal.
