Normally I'd stay away from
blanket statements, but after the introduction of the G4 Cube, I think the
statement may be true.
The Mac world (for the most part) cheered the new cube, while the PC
world (for the most part) jeered. This is hardly a departure from the
norm.
What I think, though, is that this demonstrates that Mac users are
the total personal computer loving package. We're often derided by the
PC press for buying computers for their looks instead of their
performance. What they fail to realize is that we buy them for their
looks and their performance. We do not compromise on the
hardware side, and we love to have a beautiful machine as well. We are
computer enthusiasts in every sense.
The standard Wintel lover is stuck with hiding their love for their
machines beneath a beige box. This is not the type of machine that you
would display in the open or try to match to your decor. It is designed
to be stowed out of sight and out of mind. They may love tinkering with
the innards of the machine, but the outside remains just a plain old
expression of nothing in particular. This is very much like creating a
custom engine, chrome and all, and placing it within the body of a
Pinto. No one is going to know that you're a car enthusiast unless
you're at the strip. In this case, the strip is the benchmarks everyone
loves to run.
It's true that there are a few people who love "sleeper" cars that
have great performance hidden under a crappy exterior, but I think they
are outnumbered by the people who take care of what's inside and
outside.
Mac lovers, on the other hand, are proud to display their computers.
They want it to be out in the open and visible to all. They want others
to ask questions about the computer so that they can talk about the
machine and computers in general. It's a way to get a conversation
going about our favourite topics: computers.
Macs aren't only about the power under the hood (of which there's
plenty) but also about the beautiful body and paint job.
Try this test the next time you hear the "Mac users are all style
and no substance" argument. Ask if, all things being equal, they would
prefer a beige box or a G4 Cube. Remember, if they start talking about
no expansion, etc., cut them off and remind them that all things are
equal. I suspect that the vast majority would reluctantly admit that
they would take the Cube. I guess that makes them just as concerned
about style as Mac users.
Polish up your Mac. I'll meet you at the strip.
