Any other no iPod, iPad, iPhone, iMac, i(anything) non-users?
Definitely one of the "I refuse to buy iAnything" types - mainly because I've watched Apple turn into the mega-squashing, control freak, technology giant that every was afraid Microsoft would turn into (or claimed they had). Not that they don't deserve it - they certainly earned it with the product. I'm just refusing to buy into the kool-aid.
