Mac & PC People
In talking to a collegue of mine at Harvard tonight about the finer things in life, he mentioned that he has lately been finding himself in deep philosophical conversations with a Rhodes Scholar friend of his. She constantly quotes Thoreau and other whatnot, causing him to feel somewhat inadequate. Until, one night on the topic of life, he threw in this analogy for her (in defense of religion):
Mac people have a solid unshakeable kernel deep inside etc. and then add on software that makes them better but that doesn’t affect their core.
PC people are always in flux and small additions or changes in their lives change the whole operating system.
I told her she needs to be more like a Mac.
Touche, Hugo.
(She later told him of the similarities to Maslow…lol)

Though I guess one could argue that the Mac OS X core is a bit timid because it shuts itself off to the world when it perceives a threat. :-\
Still, the only open aspect about Windows is its flaws.

Its like the Mac commercial with the PC person vs. the Mac person
