What, you are not generalising? By treating everyone who buys a mac as an idiot/sheep/cant think for themselves until they prove to you differently?
Oh dear.
I've highlighted the problem with what you've said.
Let's take a look.
You say I said that everyone who buys a Mac is an idiot/sheep.
I quote myself:
If sheep hear that owning a Mac will make you look cool, then sheep will buy a Mac.
So, I actually said that sheep would buy a Mac, not people are sheep for buying a Mac.
Can't you see the simple distinction?
Let me quote some more of the things I've said:
Bear in mind that I use Macs almost on a daily basis, even though they're not my preferred machine.
I'm not talking about things blindly.
I come across a lot of people who own them because they wanted to buy something different to a PC (for the sake of being different)
This is a fact.
I laughed at them when they said it, and their response was something like "I don't care. It looks great on my desk."
I've known quite a few art students over the years (because Art is also a passion of mine), and even some of them have agreed that out of a class of art students using Macs, you'd only find a handful of students that loved the Mac for the right reasons, and the rest loved it because they were art students and they had to have a Mac, like it was an arty badge.
I've highlighted in red the words that show I NEVER said ALL Mac owners, and always pointed out that it was SOME.
I've come across fanboys for Macs and PCs, Xbox360 and PS3, Forza and Gran Turismo, and I think they're all hysterical to listen to.
I'm talking about Fanboys specifically here.
If you recall, my signature a few months ago took the P out of people who place their system specs in their signature space, and a few PC owners took umbrage to that because they thought I was mocking them, which I was.
Again, proof that I'm not anti-Mac (although I have nothing to prove to anyone), and it shows that I dislike pretentious people in general, whether their computer is dull grey or bright pink! 
Would I defend PCs if someone started to slag them off?
No, of course not.
It's just a computer!
As far as I'm concerned, bright boxes and monitors (which you can buy for PCs now by the way) are the equivalent of huge spoilers and huge exhausts on road cars, and people should have grown out of them long before they leave their teens.
BTW, I was given an old Mac about 4 or 5 years ago, and it was ancient then, and it looked very much like a PC in its grey dullness.
It may even still be in the attic, I don't know.
I think the point you're missing is that Apple had a reason for changing the look of the Mac, and like most things these days, it's all about image.
They targeted people who wanted a computer that matched their sofa (rofl), and it worked a treat.
It also worked with the Ipod and no doubt will work with the iPad.
Let's not forget those annoying ads for the new Dell machines, with almost any colour you want available.
They're trying to cash in on the overlap of the 2 markets.
It's not a lie.
It's not generalising.
It's a fact.
One more thing.
I understand how it can be annoying for Mac owners to hear me saying these things.
If you're someone whose owned Macs for years, even when they were ugly, because you've always liked the way the OS worked, you're now suddenly grouped together with those who bought one to be different or to match their sofa (so funny).
Which is why it's important that you read carefully.
There
will be people who generalise what Mac users are, but you'll find that they are the sort of people who post their PC system specs in their signatures. :hehe:
I say to both camps, "It's a bloody computer!"
Learn to utilise it, not polish it.
Smiley.
