Andrew isn't even close to a rabid Mac fanatic on the basis of what he's
posted here.


Of course he is. Anyone silly enough to claim that using a Mac is in and
of itself safe computing (or that using a Windows machine in and of itself
is not) is by definition a rabid Mac fanatic.


Of course, most Mac users are rabid Mac fanatics. It's the only way Apple
could have hoped to have survived under their business model.


Psst: I don't even use a Mac. There are some on my floor at work, but none
in my home and none in my actual office. How rabid is that? And if I'm
that rabid, what does this say about you and your prejudices?

This is good, though. Perhaps your mistaken assumption about me is enough
to raise a flag in your mind about those prejudices. And recognizing a
problem is a necessary first step in correcting it.

That's what I think we need to do with AOPA: help them recognize the
problem: that they're encouraging a dangerous monoculture.
