I'm a Macoholic but don't want a cure. Got to have a Mac if you're a graphic designer. Besides, they're cool things to play with.

Apple has always had great products but its the operating system that sets it apart and for all the haters that have never used a Mac, they'll just never know.

In the apple store there are two or three personality type employees.
1) The arrogant ones in a ratio of 1 per 100 clients called Geniuses.Their function is to make you feel stupid while they try to fix your computer, the I-Pod or the I-Phone.
2) Then the nice guys and gals very helpful ratio of 1 per 10 clients, unable to help you but very efficient selling the gizmos.
3) Finally the silent ones wit the function of walking inn and out the back door apparently for no reason.
45 minutes of exposure to this environment if you buy something are a powerful buster of your self esteem. It cures inferiority complexes and phobias.
The effect starts when you leave the store and is reinforced while you meet friends still hooked to a regular Windows PC.
Apple has done more for me than the expensive shrink did in years.
