i agreed with my bro the other day - he has a mac - that the community for mac is better than for PC.

Well, that's because competition tears PC communities apart whereas there is one manufacturer for Apple Computers and, since they realize they are in the minority, they know that supporting each other is the only way to make their community grow.

It's a mix of a few factors... product placement payments and availability. When you see PCs, it's likely product placement. When you see iMacs and iBooks, it's either product placement or availability. When you see PowerBooks and PowerMac towers, it's availability because they usually have so many of these on set (editing suites and whatnot) that they just grab what's available and put it there. The PowerPC series of Macs are quite popular in the editing industry.

I knew Legally Blonde 2 was going to suck when I saw that they swapped her white iBook for a hot pink Gateway.

I blame product placement; Gateway probably offered to pay more to get its product onscreen.

You could say that Mac finally developed a conscience and said there is no way in hell we are making a pink shell for you guys.

Something like that, but I think Mac had a conscience to begin with. They probably said, "If you want hot pink, she'll have to have an iMac."

But she did have an i series. I just don't think they wanted to go back to the flavors. They are holding up nicely with just the frosted i series.

Personally, I like the old iBook better than the G4 one aesthetically. The G4 just looks too plastic.

I've got the frosted iBook (not just G4s; mine is a G3) as a backup computer at work. I kinda dig it. From afar, it seems cheap and plastic until you get it in your hands and you feel how solid the damn thing is.

Yeah, that's the one my frien has. Of course the other day we were drooling over this first year's PowerBook G4 with the 16:9 display. So very nice.
