RE: word of the day

["Dan Goldstein" <DGoldstein -at- riverainmedical -dot- com>]

Personally, I have nothing against Macs. But in 15 years of tech writing, I've never sat with a colleague, client, customer, or boss who was using one. I've heard anecdotally that they're a lot of fun, and if the whole world switches to Mac tomorrow, I'm cool with that.

P.S. I have no pocket protector. But aren't *all* tech writers nerds?
