About this siteFor six years, the Internet Nexus served as my technology blog, but I've since started blogging at the SuperSite Blog instead. If you're looking for the blog, please head there. --Paul Monday, February 23, 2004Is Being Part Of 5% Really So Bad?Mac Observer asks, "Is Being Part Of 5% Really So Bad?" Actually, no, it's not. It's being part of 1.8 percent--and falling every quarter--that's the problem. It's continually repeating the lie that the Mac owns 5 percent of the market that's the problem. It's blasting people for reporting the truth, when all you expect is lies, that's the problem.But you know what the biggest problem is? It's right there in this article. It's the way Mac advocates, once again, put Mac users up in some high and mighy place where, because of the computer system they chose, they're better than the masses. It perpetuates the myth that Macs and their users are somehow superior to the other 97.2 percent of the population. It's a lie, and it's got to stop. "We should be grateful that we have the sense to recognize greatness when we see it, recognize that the masses will never get it ... I say these people don't use Macs, will never appreciate Macintosh, and we shouldn't encourage them to join our club. Screw 'em!" Mr. Randazzo writes. Screw you, buddy. "Changing the world" requires you to be inclusive. You should grow up and figure out what's really important. It certainly isn't your choice of computer. [ Posted at 9:22 AM | Permalink ]
