Mac voyeurs

ZDNet has created a monster.

A couple of weeks ago, David Coursey said he was going try using just Macs for a month to see what the migration from Windows-land would be like. So far, the results have been very positive.

Now, however, he seems to have crossed that invisible line that separates the two camps in the OS battle. In his latest column, he rants about people he refers to as Mac voyeurs:

"Frankly, I am getting a bit tired of telling these Windows bigots - people who don’t even know why they use Windows except that everyone else does - about the wonders of Macintosh. Hell, Windows is just fine for them, so I’d hate to push them into a non-conformity they just couldn’t handle."

Ouch! I don’t think he’s going to win any converts with that kind of talk.

Luckily, even if David Coursey issues a Fatwa, Jessica will be safe. She’s about to become a fully fledged Mac user.

It was this "suite deal" that clinched the decision. Now we’re just counting the days ‘till her gorgeous new iMac shows up.
