170. Can we please put this nonsense into a bit of perspective?
How many of the people reading this drive a car they absolutely LOVE? You know, you wash it regularly, take good care of it because it's reliable and takes good care of you? Maybe it's even the second or third one of the same make or model you've purchased because you actually like your car.

Why is this so difficult for PC users to understand? Or Mac users, for that matter? If you have a car that consistently works for you, never has to go into the shop, doesn't cost an arm and a leg, turns heads when you drive down the street, what the hell is wrong with being passionate about it went people jump all over you and tell you it's a piece of shit? The arrogance doesn't come from the Mac side, as I see it, it's from all those people who purport to know what should motivate us to buy -- and like -- a certain product, whatever the hell that product is.
