I often liken that scene to the Open Source scene wrongly. But it was all about sharing designs. As a side note, Steve Jobs has been kicked from his own company before now, what does that tell you?
Hahaha! Yeah, I make fun of Mac folk also. However, when Matthew Broderick's character, David searched around on the ground for something to phreak the pay phone into calling Ally Sheedy, he didn't throw the Pepsi pop tab down demanding there be a Coke one because Pepsi sucks.
If you want to be useful in all situations, you must think of all technology as tools. Lest you be neutered in a roomful of Macs.
I love open source and I use as many those apps as I can. One day, I may even contribute. Sure Mac is the antithesis of open source- that will not stop me from making Mac my bitch. Besides that, Apple has NEVER received my vote in the form of a dollar.
My tools don't use me and I am faithful to no brand. You can be if you like and your world will always be smaller than mine.
One time I even used Micro Channel Architecture! How's that for avant garde?
