Well, you are doing nothing to dissuade the apple haters that stereotype mac people as smug, conceited hipsters.

  You're entitled to your opinion, but how is this smug or conceited? I'd like to disagree. My viewpoint is very humble; I am not judging anybody or making snide comments. The first half of what I wrote explains how I am a customer despite acknowledging its flaws, because in the end, it is superior engineering. How is this smug? I am only critical of Apple's rare but poor engineering decisions. Everything else, as I say in my text, does not matter. And I think I am fairly objective about this. How is this conceited? If the last few lines of what I wrote seemed out of place, here is the context: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USn5t5nQWU8&NR=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USn5t5nQWU8&NR=1 . This ad, along with other Apple ads, clearly paints the picture of Apple Computer's target demographic. This is the Apple I identify with -- a motley crew of "hipsters", in your words. Yet, this is the Apple that doesn't exist anymore. Which is what I am sad about. It is frustrating sometimes to feel abandoned like this, yet I know there are others like me. Hence I wrote this. If this piece came across as smug, conceited or hipster-like , I apologize for the clarity in my writing.
