Can you recognize an Apple Mac user while shopping at CompUSA, Micro Center, etc.? Beard, plaid shirt, work boots or sandals (from GQ thread), long hair, usually a pony tail, always headed to a little corner in the back of the store, etc.? Have a great time with this while shopping and betting on who walks back to the Mac section.

To IMHO.

Lots of women use Macs. Which doesn’t mean they don’t match your description.
No one ever guesses that I am a Mac user.
And no, I don’t have a beard.
I’ve been to a few meetings at the local Mac user club, and I can’t remember seeing one bearded hippie type. Most of them looked like pretty ordinary people. I wouldn’t peg them as predominantly one particular “type.”
What was the point of this OP, exactly?
The OP forgot we all smell of patchouli and sneer at PCs on the shelf. :rolleyes:
You mean me and my near-clone Rush Limbaugh and all the other Mac users?
::thinks about it for a moment::
Well, yeah, I guess you’d see us walking with lack of interest past the rows of shiny Pentium 6/7/8/9 powered towers and racks of PS/2 mice and stopping to drool over the firewire RAID arrays, guess that could be a giveaway…
Wouldn’t see many of us shopping in the anti-virus software section either
I really tried to keep the OP gender PC, the “pony tail” may have been a little of base. :rolleyes:
We usually look annoyed and frustrated if we’re in the “GAMES” section of the PC software aisle.
Or giving curious—albeit fleeting—glances at the empty PC casings for sale.
We’re generally not the ones standing at the tech support counter.
You can identify the Mac users because they’re inherently hipper than the non-Mac users.
Bless you, rjung. You always supply links.
You can identify the Mac users because they’re inherently more sensitive than non-Mac users.

The real dope on Mac people.
Hm. Looks more like the real dope on a past Apple marketing strategy.
There isn’t a rolleyes smiley big enough for this thread.
I like your sig, Drewbert.
I’m a mac person. But I’m also a PC person. I have a mac that I love and Ardred and I have a PC that we love. We have a kitchen PC (almost) for recipes and beer charts.
Describe me.

- Where I live there’s a number of different large-chain retailers selling lots of PC’s and software titles (Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Office Depot, CompUSA) plus stores that sell only software titles (Babbage’s, Slackers [these only sell games and game-relate hardware for PC’s and consoles]). All these places sell PC hardware or software. And some of that software might be Mac-also I suppose, but it’s all-PC for sure.

- If you want an Apple, there is one single little Apple store in the downtown area, a small one-room place maybe 16’ x 24’ feet. There’s a few computers and a few shelves of software titles in there, I have seen inside it walking by. The parking in that area is very poor, not that this would be a problem for the most part. It has been in the same location for at least 15 years, and (I am told that) the next-nearest Apple store is about a 45-minute drive away. I have never actually been inside the place.

Well, yeah, options are nice.
Ah, the same Mac users believing in a “new” Apple marketing strategy.
Does this guy count, too? He claims to be some sort of computer expert, but I’m sure he’s not half as smart as that fragtopia guy. Everyone knows the smart geeks talk in 733tsp33k and brag about how kewl they are.
Now that made me laugh
