iPhone

nerdlingers i love it.

Mac people are nerdlingers too, but they consider themselves innovative nerdlingers. Linux nerds are just depressed optimists, who moan at everything :) well everything except linux of course, cos if they dont like it they can change it :D

I think a lot of Mac people consider themselves nerdish in a cool way, but coolness is purely in the eye of the beholder.

Proper nerds detest Apple because of the closed box architecture that won't let them solder a bigger widget on the side or fool around with the code themselves.

:confused:

Guess I'm not a nerd! :D

Apple get great product placements in tv, movies & celebrities which drives their sales. Every Hollywood type will be seen with an iPhone.

Every movie has someone typing from an Apple Mac laptop. I'm a Mac-ist, purely because I work in the printing industry. I wouldnt work on anything less. ;) Seriously though, if I was doing design work on a pc, I'd go mad. I dont know feck all about specs and stuff, but for reliability and speed, Mac is your only man. Oh and no viruses either. and they look great. :)

Geeks are the new jocks dont ya know.

In the absence of a 3g iphone and with an upgrade due from my network, I was thinking of going for the N95 8gb. Anyone using one of these, they look the business. Particularly keen to try out the Slingmedia Symbian client for watching TV on it.

There's an old biker joke: how many scooterists does it take to change a light bulb? None, they just get the electrician to do it.
I'm sure some of these nerdy linux/pc types adapt that joke for mac users.
