The Self-Superiority of the Macintosh Minority

Mike Dennis pointed me to an article about the mindset of Mac buyers, which is perhaps the only minority group WASPs like Mike and I can claim to be part of. According to Mindset Media, a group I know nothing about, people who are "highly open-minded" are 60% more likely to buy a Mac. In addition, "These purchasers are also more liberal, less modest, and more assured of their own superiority than the population at large."

More liberal? Less modest? I don't know about that. But being a Mac user since 1988, and therefore obviously equipped with enormous foresight, I have no problem attesting to my own superiority.

Nice. Very nice. I just don't understand why people would willfully inhabit the Stone Age.

About Me

Steve DennieCareer-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
I write primarily for my own amusement. If anyone wants to eavesdrop, they're welcome to it. My heartbeat is serving God faithfully through the local church. But my posts repeatedly stray into sports, politics, movies, and other nonsense.
I've been blogging since 2004, and it's been fun. Please understand that, though I work for the United Brethren in Christ denomination, the nonsense I spew out here comes from my own semi-functional brain in a totally personal, non-official capacity. Yes, that's a disclaimer.

You can get an OpenID identity from many places, but I recommend these three: MyID.net, Signon.com, and MyOpenID.com.
But you may already have an OpenID and not know it. Let me tell you about it.
