I’ve been using Macintosh computers since about 1989, I think, and I’m an unabashed fan. Sometimes when I hold forth about the glories of the Mac, I see eyes rolling and resigned, weary sighs from my rapt listeners, and I wonder: Am I wrong? Am I crazy? Do I carry this thing too far?
It’s a source of comfort to me when I see something like this, from The Omni Group blog:
Michaela brought in some pillows that her friend Roberto spent the last several months crafting for her. Mac nerds can’t be content with a row of regular pillows on the couch, no, no way. Our decor needs to resemble graphical user interfaces whenever possible! Behold, Michaela’s dock in cushiony fabric form!
Or this hand-made oak clock, called the Macintock.
See? I’m not the most obsessive person in the world. Really!
Or maybe it’s just that I’m really, really lazy, and making those things looks too much like work.
