4:23 PM EST 		I'm sorry but it just pushes my hot button when the mac fanboys who don't want to pay for the hardware just assume that we all want to run OSX and convert to the apple/mac camp. This from the people who brought you one button mice, glassy icons, designer cases, and one of the most proprietary hardware/software combination in history. All this, and to my knowledge, an OS that is a modified BSD. These guys are no friend of FOSS.

Oh, and I run Debian Linux cause I like it and it is in no way inferior to Apple/mac. If they put OSX on an Intel platform, I'll still be using Linux.

6:14 PM EST 		So we have pushes my buttons (from the 1970's) and fanboy (from OSNews). What else?

I'm sorry (well actually not), but it really annoys me when mac fanatics, who don't want to pay for the hardware, just assume that we all want to run OSX and convert to the apple/mac camp.

(My experience of Mac users thus far being that they tend to unbearable (and entirely unfounded) smugness).

5:39 AM EST 		And (although I loathe the fact that the woman is allowed to voice her opinions) can we drop the use of the word "Didiot"?

Well, personally I use an alliteration of another word, which shall go unmentioned in this family oriented fora. :)
