Conformist....? It's Macs where you have to run one specific OS, run it only on their hardware, upgrade when they tell you, and buy only approved licensed accessories.JTA wrote:At least Macs only get infected with the hip and edgy viruses. Can't say the same about conformist PCs.
iPhones and iMacs are even worse, with a long and constantly growing list of entire classes of apps that you're not allowed to have access too and reasons why you can't have them. (Is adopting the practice of adding 'i' to the front of product names, long after the practice became stale in the rest of the computer industry, conformist or nonconformist?)
The original 1984 Mac ad quickly turned into a joke for PC and Apple II users alike. It was the Mac where you were forced to conform to Big Brother's demands.
Mac users remind me of the reporter in the 1980s at a record company sponsored event, in a vast crowd of girls all dressed just like Madonna, asking one of them why they did so, and being told "Because we want to express our individuality!"
