Apple FANBOI glurge

I'm sitting in the library waiting on my computer to run a backup, so I wondered over to the Dewey 005 section. (That's where the computer programming and similar items are shelved. I had to look it up.)

Because my church uses Macs, and I "grew up" on PCs, I picked up a book called "How to Do Everything Mac, Second Edition". I skimmed over the About the Author and About the Technical Editor. Suffice to say that these two people should know what they are talking about when it comes to Macs.

Then, I got to the Introduction. (Page xxi) The first paragraph was such a FANBOI glurge attack, I almost puked myself! It contained phrases like "(new users will be) light years ahead of (PC users)" & "If you're a seasoned PC user, the Mac is so elegant and simple...(your expectations) will change forever" & "It's hard to get pumped up about a PC, but we're talking about a Mac!"

This was almost enough to make me put the book back on the shelf. Sure, there are things I hate about Windows, but the little bit I've used a Mac, there are already things I hate about it. But, if there's any substance to this book, I don't want to, as my church family says, "throw the baby out with the bathwater". I'll either post an update to this, or edit this post if I actually get more into the book.

5/19/2015 UPDATE:
I haven't allowed myself the time to dig into the book yet, but I skimmed the beginning a little and found this hilarious nugget: "Apple's consumer products are intended to be ...stylish...and, above all, affordable." {emphasis mine}

Market Watch says Apple's first affordable product is; it's stock, after a 7:1 split.

I'm going to have a hard time taking this guy seriously if this tone of Apple worship continues.
