Can we have a My Little Pony forum first?
It could be subdivided into separate discussion fora: Genuine Little Girls; Rather Femmine Little Boys Who Like Pink Things; Harassed Fathers Who Are Looking For A Lastminute Xmas Or Birthday Present; Camp Men And Goth Teenagers Who Dress Their Little Pony In Bondage Gear; and of course, Installing OSX My Little Pony Edition On A MacBook Air.
You forgot "Creepy Dr No types who put fricken laser beams on their heads".
Let's face it - in the tech world the average Apple user, who at least partially buys Apple because of the way it looks, has a larger dose of narcissism or projection than users of other hardware - no matter how nerd they might be.
Oh all right, not the embarrasing end of the Apple nerd spectrum, the amateur developer type who corners you in MUGs evangelising the platform... <shudder> You will not find the trendy types using a Dell. Heck, it's one of the reasons I hang onto Apples for out-in-public use: As a stylin' technological ice-breaker. To show I'm hip and with it, daddio. That I'm down wit' da bros, word...
... er... perhaps I'd better quit while I'm ahead.
Anyway, it therefore stands to reason that Apple users would be more attuned to style, and that the increasing numbers of switchers may need instruction in how to cut a dash, coming as they are from the dark recesses of Gates-land
where sandals are okay. I say why not have a "We're here, we're prettier than you, get used to it" forum.
Personally, I think it makes sense. So many of us made the choice of Apple because of the way it looks (or the way it looks to others). So many of us are ultimately that shallow (or cater for / mix with people who are). Seems logical that there should be somewhere dedicated to sharing style tips. Stick it up alongside PRSI - I look forward to the Armani vs Cerruti flamewars, and the virtual handbaggings between the Prada and Chanel camps.
