Mac snobbery
I’ve just read an article over at TUAW, reporting on research that says that Mac owners are snobs. Apparently, they are more likely:
- to be perfectionists
- to use notebooks
- to use teeth whitening products
- to drive station wagons
- to pay for downloaded music
- to go to Starbucks
- to care about “green” products and the environment
- to own a hybrid car
- to buy 5 pairs of sneakers in a year
I know that I haven’t achieved my perfectionist status yet, but there are a number of things on there that I hope I never manage. You can keep Starbucks for a start, and don’t come near me with hybrid cars and station wagons. And I expect a pair of trainers (or sneakers if you must) to last at least two years, so I’ll buy five pairs in a decade not a year. As for teeth whitening products… I’m British - we don’t do white teeth!
Personally, I think it’s just jealousy on the part of PC users because they know that a Mac is really what they want.

You’re absolutely right, it’s jealousy. As soon as I can afford one I will buy a Mac. Unfortuntaly, unless I sell my soul or win the lottery it ain’t gonna happen for a few years.
As for hybrid cars, I love the idea but why do you they all have to look so shit?
