    Hmmm.

    Just a few notable Mac users who have been a little more successful than the average Joe:



    Drew Carey, Clint Eastwood, Jodie Foster, Mel Gibson, Tom Hanks, Jerry Seinfeld, Aerosmith, Bjork, Bono, Jan Hammer (think Miami Vice soundtrack), Madonna, Seal, Hans Zimmer (music for Crimson Tide), Douglas Adams (writer), Tom Clancy, Mario Puzzo (wrote The Godfather), Troy Aikman (yep, a real man), Robin Williams, George Lucas, Joel Schumacher, Michael Jackson, Bare Naked Ladies, Lockeed Martin, NASA.



    Oh, by the way, Microsoft also uses Macs. Bill Gates himself was the first person to buy a Mac.



    Just a short list.



    More are here:

    I don't know, but it looks like Mac users are in pretty good company.

    Yeah, he just put out a long series on arstechnica.com about why he likes OS X.

    And somewhat flipping out his former PC using cohorts, since Peter's not the kind of guy you can lightly dismiss as a "fanboy."

There is a phsychology with rich people that gives them the desire to buy expensive things (studies have proven this). Anyways, you don't even know the motives of why Bill Gates would buy an iMac. One more thing, about that idiot comment, I said that because by the sounds of it, that guy is not very strong willed or he is easily convinced.



    This is a short list of succesful PC users (individuals/groups)

    Ozzy Osbourne, Gwen Stefani, Alec Baldwin, Black Sabbath, Slayer, Martin Short, Steve Martin, ACDC, etc.



    btw, the guy who owns AMAZE entertainment uses iMacs, but all his work compys are PCs



    Psst. Scientists use Apple compys too.



    Bill Gates probably owns an Apple computer. Not only because he's rich but because he is good friends with Steve Jobs.







    Also, there's this word you might want to look up, it's call Coopetition. Might enlighten you too.



    More Bill & Steve stuff.

    Well, I wouldn't go that far... Steve has a clear disdain for Bill Gates. This was very evident to me when they were both on stage at the All Things Digital conference.

    Really? I linked to it in my post. Didn't sense that at all. That photo's from the very same conference. Having dinner with their families has also been inferred by both Jobs and Gates.

    Do you all realise that the original poster of this thread still hasn't mentioned which particular lawsuit he/she is talking about?

    A very good reason for that is that the original poster was a troll.

    No, just saying his is this big.



    Bill Gates is saying "Really? Beats mine." [demonstrating with his left hand].

    Bush is a Mac user, proving all creative people are Mac users.



    All you have to do is make up a lot of things and you qualify.
