If you own a Mac or iphone, you might enjoy watching this documentary. Essentially it's a bio of Apple and then goes into depth about the "cult" following the brand has developed over the years. It brought back memories for me when my Dad bought a Mac during the late 80's and also reminded me of when right before the internet became mainstream, Apple almost lost their customers, brand identity and almost went bellyup all together.

The doc. is pretty funny at times as well...

Re: Macheads

purchased my first mac back in 2007 (black macbook) and have since then sold that, purchase both an imac (now sold) and a macbook pro (which is my only computer) and will never go back to windows. only way i will switch to PC is if Linux becomes more widely accepted and easier to use. (i am all for open source software)

but I love my mac and iphone.. :)

Re: Macheads

^Had my macbook for 2 years, I cringe when I see people using windows. There's some humorous footage of crowds of people taking pictures of the first 100 people buying iphones.

Re: Macheads

Been using Macs since 1999 (back before OSX - using OS9) bought my first mac in 2001 ([URL="http://www.apple-history.com/?page=gallery&model=pg4&sort=date&performa=off&order=ASC"]titanium powerbook G4[/URL]) then upgraded to the [URL="http://www.apple-history.com/body.php?page=gallery&model=pg4_17&sort=date&performa=off&order=ASC"]17" powerbook[/URL] in 2003 and I still have that computer and use it everyday.

I've never used PCs on a regular basis, but when I do have to used them, it's a pain.

Re: Macheads

I might actually watch this. But what I keep reminding people is how apple had that anti big brother commercial just before the mac went on sale in 1984...... NOW look at apple. Everyone is like a drone in white headphones, and anything steve jobs releases gets sold like hotcakes, no matter how poor the product is.......his reality distortion field is really working.

Check the similarities:
