@Josh - You are absolutely right and I was spectacularly wrong. It's common courtesy and I missed it. I intend to fully follow the protocol you outlined from now on.

I'm sorry for not contacting you first, and asking what you prefer.

You know what, I think I would have rather you not published my comment than censored it. Yeah, it's your blog and you do what you want with it, but I deserve to know ahead of time if you're going to blatantly edit my message. Even an email saying "Sorry Josh I wasn't pleased with your language in the recent comment, but since it was overall worthwhile I censored it accordingly. Hope you don't mind." would have been awesome. Now I just completely violated.

I try not to take sides on the mac v. pc debate, but just had to post...

"Mactard" = simply brilliant!

"Mactard" - that's awesome. :-)

Not sure about the current bunch of Mac nerds, but I've had a Mac on my desk since about 1985. (Zero Sr. even had a Lisa.) There was a time when finding someone who voluntarily used and liked Macintoshes was sort of like finding the only other person at the party that didn't treat you like a leper.

Saying "I use a Mac" used to be a stigma, not a fashion statement. Now that it's a fashion statement, it's probably *still* a stigma.

I will NEVER be able to understand these Mactards who have nothing better to do than to run around high-fiving every Mac user they see. Oh my God, there's a Mac!

When you buy a Mac, you somehow get automatically enrolled into a community of idiots. It's a computer, not a social movement, you ********. Apple does not sell ways of life!

Covering up the Apple logo will help, but you might want to consider shaving your head and tatting a swastika on your cheek to get complete isolation from these ***clowns.

Good luck!

Nice, another MBP .Net developer. Good to meet you John. I did the plaster-work myself. Worked on it for a frickin week solid, but dude that was 8 years ago and it looks just as good today. Plus when a kid throws food on the walls you dont worry if it leaves a stain! love it.

I love your idea for the sticker!

@jared - Yeah, I was made to feel like I was totally clueless about Macs (I kind of was). And everytime I go in there, it's the same thing, although once they know I have a MBP, I'm put in some sort of Glee Club and feel really weird. The iPhone ownership is another realm all together.

I love my Mac for what it offers me, the awesome video/audio tools, the compatability with the iWork tools, and the ability to do dev work in VS2008.

And your wall... Italian plaster? I did that a couple of years ago in my kitchen. It took me WEEKS to get it done.
