Just don’t call me late for supper

My online quilting friend, Robbi Joy Eklow is what I call a mac-person. She uses and prefers Macs. But what to call someone like that? That was the question she put to David Pogue, who calls us “Mac Fans.”

Well, I’m with Robbi here. I’d rather be a user than a fan (I’m a Rod Stewart Fan but have never been to a concert although I do own a couple CDs). To me fan indicates some degree of removal. User unfortunately makes me think of my being on the short end of the help desk-user spectrum (that would have been the user end….) but at least it indicates that there’s some contact.

Actually “Mac-person” is how I generally describe myself if someone starts asking me stupid Windows questions — ooops sorry – I’m a mac person – I’ve never HAD to reinstall my operating system because of some stupid computer problem in my life!
