To have a Mac means more than just owning a computer, it means that you ride a really hipster-esq FG or SS bike that has both risers and aero-bars, platform pedals, and no brakes. Maybe I am biased because I don't live in San Francisco, but I think Macs are more about saying that you own a Mac and like to use the WiFi in Starbucks than they are about having a decent computer. To demonstrate my point I present you with the link

I understand your point about macs being fashionable, and how owning one seems like the latest "hipster trend" (*cough* fixed gear *cough*). But you really shouldn't poopoo them just because they're popular. I've been using them since 1998 because I was tired of my WIN95 box freezing every time I would open more than 2 programs. Now I know XP is miles better, and it's very stable and I could care less if you use windows (I mean, c'mon there are absolutely no games for macs), but for what I need a computer - Internet, email, word processing - macs accomplish this task for me wonderfully. But I miss the days when people would laugh at you for just using one, and ask, "They still make Apple computers?"
Oh and here's an interesting picture
