A PC in Macintosh Clothes

A blog is born! I guess I'll start things off with this: someone put the guts of a PC into a PowerMac G5 case and wrote about it to a website. After the story got posted, his inbox exploded with death threats and other invective from the fanatical arm of the Mac community.

I'm sure that a reasonable Mac person (while agreeing with me that the actions these people took were deplorable), would say that Mac fans have a much deeper personal attachment to their machines than their Dell-owning counterparts, and that this attachment helps explain this kind of behavior. Bull. I love BMWs, and I know a lot of other people do too... but someone who swapped the M50 engine out of one for a 4-banger from a Cavalier wouldn't get anywhere near the abuse this guy took for putting an Athlon motherboard into his PowerMac. Heck, these guys turned a Porsche 944 into a golf ball retriever just because they could, and their TV show has quite a following.

Somehow, this migrated into a car post. I have a feeling that's going to happen a lot.
