- gaius 18y agoObviously you were never a schoolboy in England in the 1980s. Sinclair, Acorn, Commodore, these brands were more hotly contested by the nerds than football teams or pop bands ever were by the cool kids...
- nuclear_eclipse 18y agoI believe he meant that Mac is the first company to make computers and devices fashionable to everyone who isn't a nerd. There's a big difference. It's now "cool" and "hip" for any set of mainstream consumers to own a Mac/iPod/iPhone, while it's never really been "cool" to own any sort of Windows machine, except in tiny little crowds of geeks and nerds.
