Good stuff, Steve Johnson, a Chicago Tribune gadget writer, posted a funny article about the trouble he and his wife had getting an iPod Nano up and running. It wasn't long before the hords of brainwashed Apple "cultists", as he refers to them, started flaming him. He wrote a follow up, that I found hilarious.

I am not surprised. I've observed this tendency for years myself, a considerable number of Apple fans exhibit a rather unbalanced zealot-like behavior.

You rarely see it happening the other way around. The vast majority of PC users couldn't care less.
