Ha! What's more amusing is if he thought it was somehow an insult. In future you should refer to PC users as 'Virus boy' and see how they feel about that :-) Macboy! Ha!

Perhaps my superpower could be the ability to lead people through the darkest of places (both literally and metaphorically) using a glowing apple (not unlike the glowing apple on the cover of a MacBook), or perhaps it would be preternatural creativity. Or, perhaps it could be the willingness and ability to go into debt to purchase a piece of desired technology. In all honesty, PCs are fine by me. I just wanted to put a subtle yet effective barb out there, since I have been taking a few hits for being a Mac owner recently. Perhaps we can enact a Shakespearian-kind-a drama where your family would be the Peacees, and my family would be the MacApples and there would be a long standing feud between us, and a child from each of our households would fall in love with one another, but, instead of driving them to hide their relationship, we would unconditionally accept them and be blessed by the children that would result from their union. And, the children would be amazing!! Just a thought. :-) Good to hear from you Tom, and I agree, MacBoy does sound a bit like a side kick.

Oh Mac Boy (picture super hero side kick) can you help me? Someday when I have lots of extra money just waiting to be spent I will get a mac. Until then I will be PC fella.
