I'm a Mac user. My office machine is a Mac Mini and my personal machine is a MacBook. Brooker would probably snicker that I've even called them machines.
But, I don't have Apple stickers all over my car or anywhere. And I don't mock PC users (unless provoked). And I have no problem using a computer that is one of those "glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults," so long as it does what I want it to do with little trouble. And I'm definitely okay with Brooker thinking I'm too nervous to find out how proper computers work.
But the Mac vs. PC ads do make it a little embarassing for me to pull my laptop out at Panera. I don't want the other patrons to think I'm like the Mac guy from the ads. I'm no hipster. I live in a trailer and drive an early 90's Crown Vic.
wow, that guy is pretty angry at Macs, I wonder if he had some bad experiences with apples as a child, like maybe being pelted with them. Anyway, I'm a PC guy that sometimes wishes he was a Mac user, thus making me hated by Charlie Brooker.
I'm thinking of switching in the coming years when the checkbook allows it. Oh...and I love the Mac vs. PC commercials.
The only thing better are the www.sermonspice.com commercials about Jesus and Santa that are a takeoff on the Mac vs. PC commercials.
Chase, the 90's Crown Vic puts you ahead in my book, especially if you got Mark Morrison bumpin. I used to drive a '91 Caprice in high school, and there is no finer transportation than that, but you are close.
I drove an 89 Caprice Classic from my senior year of high school through junior year of college. It remains to this day the single greatest car I've ever driven. I mourn it almost daily.

Ouch. Very ouch, Charlie Brooker.
