People always ask me, "Why Mac? Sure, it looks cool and all but practical? Hell no!" As a life-long Apple Macintosh user I'm immuned to these kinds of doubt-castings especially during the pre-iPod, Intel-chip days, when Apple computers were only seen as the niche for anti-establishment, fool-hardy users. Following the release of iPod for PC users, Apple has finally managed to penetrate into the consciousness of the mainstream computer users and force people to do a double-take on its products. Now I'm happy that iPod has reached a name recognition that makes it synonymous with the product, like Xerox for copy machine or Aqua for bottled water (only applicable in Indonesia).
So obviously I'm thrilled that finally somebody is making a parallel between Mac-PC rivalry and Obama-Clinton nomination race . As an Obama backer and a Mac user I heartily agree with the article's analogy. And I do hope that Mac, or should I say Obama, prevails come November.
