A comment on Apple Mac Pro Available to Buy. Parent comment

In 1991 we would sit around the lunch table at school with our EGMs and GamePros and argue about the SNES vs. Genesis.

Angry online comments about Apple have led me to believe that the people making them are either:

a. tweens sitting around the 2019 equivalent of a cafeteria table, or

b. adults who never grew out of the SNES vs. Genesis phase

One of those is embarrassing, the other is pathetic.

It could also be that they're broke-asses who are jealous of people who can afford Apple products but that doesn't make sense because there are very few similar comments about other luxury products-- though they do exist.

ps. Genesis does what Nintendon't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm in my 30s and spent a good part of my teens arguing about Xbox/360 vs PS2/PS3 on online forums.

I just have to hope others grow of the consumerism faction wars as well. And I like to wonder how many people realize they're arguing online with children.
