So, here is someone who can plainly explain what every Mac user feels (especially new converts like me who only had the pleasure of experiencing these sensations very recently).
The name of the article says it all: <a title=”Lick Me, I’m A Macintosh / What the hell is wrong with Apple that they still give a damn about design and packaging and “feel”?” href=”http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/gate/archive/2003/10/01/notes100103.DTL”>Lick Me, I’m A Macintosh / What the hell is wrong with Apple that they still give a damn about design and packaging and “feel”?</a>
Go on read it until the end. It is worth it, either to remember how it feels or to know how the “other guys” feel about it.
