[P1] truth in advertising [OT]

[Dale Critchley]

on the fateful day of 12/18/02 2:47 PM, in a dazzling display of literary
acumen, patrick fisher at patrick.m.fisher at wamu.net altered the course of
history by digitally penning the words:

> Okay, I tend to think more liberals, more than conservatives, tend to use
> Macs,
> although it is true that Bush uses a Mac.

Yes, GW had a Wall Street clearly visible (yopu could see the white apple on
the lid) in at least one campaign photo, and Gore was quoted, "I used to use
a Mac, but I decided to switch to WinDOS because of software availability."

I can't imagine what a person's political persuasion would have to do with
their choice of computer platform. I assume you base that on the idea that
big business is Republican and artsy types are Democrat, but that's a whole
lot of perception. I'm a member of the Christian Mac Users Group
<http://www.cmug.org> which is predominantly Republican. Yeah, that's a
logical fallacy to say, "I know a lot of people like this, so that must be
the majority," but I'm saying I'd be hesitant to paint with such broad
strokes. I know of a lot of conservative (read: Pro-life, therefore
Republican) Christian schools that have heavy Mac emphases.
