Dear Slashdot,

Don't hate us because we're more attractive than you. Hate us because we're better.

Sincerely,
Mac users

All available studies show that not only are Mac users (excluding recent switchers) smarter than PC users, they're more creative, discerning, and artistic, too.

Tongue in cheek or not, the point still stands: Studies show that artists, and the artistically inclined, tend to use Macs. Windows and Linux are for unadventurous sorts.
