When did you realize you were part of the Mac Cult?

and so it happens...

the other day, while talking with a complete stranger about techie stuff in general (and having noticed that he uses a SE K700) ...

we moved on to laptops. This international speaker then mentioned that he's definitely going to make the Switch in 2005, and trash his Toshiba-PC in favor of a Powerbook. Perfect for his travelling, multi-media-heavy, presentation-filled life.

And on hearing this, I was happy.

Not just "oh that's nice. he's making the switch" happy. I mean, "I had a warm fuzzy feeling deep down inside" because he's making the Switch kinda happy.

and that's when I *realized* (undeniably so!) that I really was a Mac lover :love:, not just a user or enthusiast.

How about you?

I realised I was part of the cult of mac when having no floppy drive at all didn't matter to me anymore...

That and when I realised that I knew what a "dogcow" actually was. Moof!:roll:

I think I became a bonafide member right on the day we got our first Mac. :lol: I just couldn't stop raving about it on my online journal. I think I may have annoyed some of my regular readers, if there were any, hehe.

Seriously, the time when I felt like I was a real member of the Cult of Mac was during PhilMug's first grand EB. :beer:

When my friends who have converted to the Mac, due to my persistence, come back and say "thank you",................ i know i made the right decision.:beer:

When I gave a "discourse" on how Macs are more integrated into the OS and how programs are more integrated into the OS. aka Tight-integration and the dude I was talking to instantly decided to switch and I felt so good about it.

The first time I ever laid my eyes on a Mac, I was drawn to it. When I started following Jobs and Kawasaki, and speaking with fire about the Mac - I knew then, I was getting there. When a small motely group of passionate Mac users called the Mackey Mouse Club realized we can be big and formed PhilMUG, started calling ourselves MacEvangelists....that was IT....I was in the CULT!
