Where do you find those people? I don’t know any of those.

They're all over the place online, and there are quite a few of them walking around offline. It's interesting because online, they only act that way on sites with a huge number of other fanboys that have their support and can back them up. I clicked a link to a site talking about how Microsoft was going to discontinue the Zune and the comments were like a warzone. Anyone that liked their Zune more than their iPod got a lovely little "enjoy your viruses on your piece of shit unstable computer" reply as well as "have fun crashing". No joke. It got bad. When we mentioned to them they were acting like cult members, it flew right over their head. Some Hipsters are like this. Although I would have expected them to be using an obscure unknown flavor of linux that you "wouldn't know about". Designers too. Just last week there was a link to a designer listing all the things you need to know about designs or something. "Mac is better" was on the list. And underneath it, nothing to back her up on her argument other than a "they just are" type description. My old science teacher was one of them. She was the only one in highschool with ALL macs in her lab room. She was very "vocal" about their superiority. You can also meet them in computer stores like Best Buy. Sometimes, hilariously, they lurk in the shadows waiting for an unsuspecting computer buyer to ask an employee "should I get a mac or pc?" They jump out to correct the employee if needed and steer the conversation towards Mac superiority. Sometimes, they ARE the employees. Hang around the Apple isle at Best Buy, you might be able to spot a few. (lol, I'm talking about this like we're on a safari) It's interesting the type minority group that Apple attracts. The "I'm insecure so I have to have more than you" type. It's only a tiny percent of Apple's fans but they are the loudest. Most apple fans are nice, normal people. I've noticed that when PC guys convert to apple they are never like this. They simply state the reasons why they did it or "it just works for me". Whereas Apple fanatics that were always Apple fanatics go crazy with the "Windows crashes so much" and "there's viruses on it all the time". It's like listening to a Christian Extremist talking about Athiesm. It's the devil to them.
