It does seem that those screaming the loudest--and with the foulest of intent and mindset--are proving the point about Mac users being smarter. Even the so-called "genius," oh, I don't even have to go there; calling yourself a that just proves my point.

Anyway......

While the homophobia on here is juvenile, offensive and non-germane at best, this seems to be more of a case of Macophobia.

Has anyone ever heard a Mac user exclaim, "I hate Windows?" I haven't. I've heard plenty of Mac fans state a preference for Macs, but I've never heard one actually hate Windows. On the other hand, I've had lots of Windows users tell me that they hate Mac but have never used one for more than a couple minutes 10 years ago--if that.

Generally, I notice that Mac users know both Mac and Windows, but Windows users don't know Mac at all. (Yes, I have some friends who are exceptions--mostly b/c I forced them to learn Mac at work.)

As such, maybe Mac users--as a whole--are smarter since they almost always know both OSes. At the very least, they are generally more tolerant, except, perhaps, in the case of blatant stupidity. Tolerance levels are almost directly proportionately related to education levels and intelligent levels. Hence, a tolerance user is most likely very smart indeed.

BTW, as to who does research for free, try graduate students.
