The Street: “Mac Owners Are Snobs”
So, according to this article,
Mac owners are more likely:
- to be perfectionists
- to use notebooks
- to use teeth whitening products
- to drive station wagons
- to pay for downloaded music
- to go to Starbucks
- care about “green” products and the environment
- to own a hybrid car
- and last but not least … to buy 5 pairs of sneakers in a year
- Perfectionist? Nit-picky, maybe, but I’ve never really mastered it, so, no.
- I do use notebooks (paper ones and laptop computers; not sure which they mean…)
- My teeth don’t need to look like they’re made of plastic, thanks.
- Don’t own a station wagon. Ask me again in two weeks, though…
- I do buy all of my music from iTunes. I’ve become allergic to CDs, and I value my time too much to use P2P networks.
- I don’t recall ever buying a drink in a Starbucks. I might’ve, once: I was with other people, and wouldn’t have gone in on my own… Does that count?
- Caring about the environment makes me a snob? Wow. There’s a baseline in need of adjustment…
- No hybrid car. Doesn’t make sense when most of your driving’s on the highway.
- I don’t think I’ve bought five pairs of sneakers in the last fifteen years. Maybe I should walk more (would that make me an environmental snob, though?)
So there.
