Needless to say, I disagree that that's the reason I use a Mac.
- droopyEyelids 13y agoI know. In the tech field my macbook is embarrassingly generic. It feels weird to know that it cost more than many people's cars, but if you work in the privileged person startup bubble it's a weak shibboleth, not a luxury item that draws attention.
