Apple Fanboy
I understand brand loyalty, but Apple fanatics take it to extremes.. Buying something just because it has an Apple logo on the side is ludicrous.. Recently I had (via a forum) a conversation with someone who was in the market for a new monitor and they had their heart set on either the 24″ or 30″ Apple Cinema Display.. I pointed out the 28″ monitor that I use and offered it as a possible alternative simply because the ACD’s are stupidly expensive..
I told him that my monitor was much less than the 30″ ACD he was leaning towards, and in fact you could likely get 6 of mine for one of those.. Plus I pointed out that the majority of the stats for my monitor was actually better than the ACD. To which he said that the monitor I used was cheap and ugly. And compared the Apple Cinema Display to a fine bottle of wine, where as my monitor was a cheap sixpack.
What a pretentious douche.. He completely discounts my suggestion not on merit.. not on facts like specs or technical reasons.. No.. but because the Apple product is a fine bottle of wine, where as mine is a single out of a cheap six pack.. Wow.. The level of snobbery amazes me.. Hey buddy, you’re douchebag is showing..
