MAC ATTACK
Michael Dougan is giving me a hard time about the fact that Virginia Postrel uses a Mac. This is funny (to Michael) because, on the one hand, I just might start a religion about Virginia some day and, on the other hand, I've inflicted an unending stream of abuse on his grinning visage about "Macist heresy" for going on 15 years or so. Michael's an artist, so he can get away with using a Mac. But then, he has to suffer from the long history of closed-platform cultishness that Apple adopted as a survival strategy (the IT equivalent of the rope-a-dope, I guess), which results in him having not nearly as much software available as PC-users. So, for instance, his blog doesn't have permalinks, so I can't even give a precise cite to the ribbing he's giving me. Ironic, huh?
Oh yeah, and Virginia's a girl.
