I didn't read anything more into "mac person" than a fan of Mac computers (or, perhaps, Apple products in general).

I do own one and I've had it for quite some time. It gets the job done: in many respects, it works just fine; however, there are some aspects of it that I really don't like. I won't be buying another one.

I have seen news footage of "mac people", waiting outside Apple Stores to be one of the first to purchase the latest offering. They prance around, wave their arms, and perform other silliness, in accordance with whatever instructions they're given by the High Priestess in the blue T-shirt. I'm not one of those people and wouldn't want to be labelled as such.

I found the Scottish god thing amusing: thanks for giving me a chuckle. :-)
