39. Because inwardly the MAC users hate themselves for their lack of ability
to use a computer that doesn't do everything for them and hide all the nasty, technical, computer-based stuff from their sad little minds because they know they can't handle things like "registries" and "directory trees" and "editing .ini files", etc.

The Linux people say it, at least the ones who aren't jumping on the bandwagon and using a new modern graphical interface Linux that isn't any different than windows or the MAC OS, the command prompt Linux people HAVE THE RIGHT to say "throw that goddamn thing away".

Because the command prompt linux guys are, let's all be honest, at the top of the computer geek pyramid.

The MAC people have no leg to stand on at all. They're like the Prius owners with the automatic transmissions yelling at the '65 Mustang owners covered in oil and swearing at their broken timing chain, to "Get a Prius!"

The Linux command-prompt equivalent would be the linux guy yelling at the Mustang guy to "Just burr the goddamn chain down another 0.37 mm you dumbass and pop a fifth of everclear in your gas tank!"
