When I heard the news on the radio today, I knew lots of people would get
all worked up.

Mac vs. PC reminds me of the Mopar vs. Chevy war that raged in my circles
growing up.

As a graphic artist, I have used lots of Macs, but some years ago it seems
PCs became capable enough to do everything I need to do. So I don't feel
much loyalty either way. To me, a computer is a tool - I have never
understood the passion.

Well, actually, I may begin to understand when I think of the war in terms
of cars. I would throw down in defense of Mopars as a kid. I hated Chevys.
And Fords did not often even enter the conversation. Guess everyone needs
something to root for. Look at avid sports fans, heck, even young gang
members. We need something that allows us to say, "Hey, this is mine, this
is who I am, you got a problem with that?"
