Oh look at that doctor in Starbucks performing surgery!
I know you're joking, but, believe me, you'd be surprised at how much paperwork doctors have to do.
Got a tip for us?

Why Are Macs So Common In Coffee Shops?

People don't bring MacBook/Pros into Starbucks and other coffee shops just to show off. When I go there, the people with Macs (or rather everyone in the room) are busy working. Maybe not really "working" but they aren't showing off. I don't see technophiles in there, just normal adults.
I bought a 'Dell' magnet to put over the glowing Apple on my MBP, just to satisfy all the posters who feel us Mac-users who go to coffee shops are showoffs.

I'm sitting here, chilled out, enjoying my Grande Vanilla Latte, listening to the HockeyCentral at Noon podcast, watching the college girls file in and out, talking with some friends that are also here, and getting some decent work done.
Sounds good to me.
You sound like a Canadian, with the blue maple leaf avatar and hockey central on your mac
If so LA is a long ways away ... great time of year to be there!People like to show them!
Proves the point that many Apple users are such just for show.
Thanks,
Joe.

Of course it doesn't, that's not the proof. The proof is the well known fact that the OP states that they are seen the most in coffee shops.The statement "People like to show them!" proves absolutely nothing.
Thanks,

A show of hands, how many of you with your computers in your sig hang out at SB?
I guess in the five or six years that I used laptops exclusively, it was just class, library, and home.
I was paranoid in not wanting to spill anything on it. Call me paranoid, but there are too many sad stories here. It's OK to spill coffee on your favorite white shirt/blose or pants, but not on a laptop.
I also spent a short time as a Dell/Apple/Compaq laptop warranty tech as an intern, and I saw what liquids, cold or hot, can do to a laptop.

ooo! ooo! ooo! Me! Me! Me! Pick me!

Not me; I don't drink coffee anyways.
If you find me in a Starbucks that's a good sign it's the only place to get coffee within miles. Starbucks coffee is VILE!
In the second part of my former post I was referring to the OP's statement as well, sorry if it wasn't properly acknowledged.
Thanks,
Joe.
just shows that the same people who buy overpriced computers also are dumb enough to buy overpriced coffee.
Yes. I enjoy their Passion Iced Tea..... I usually order it: Venti size, easy water, 2 pumps raspberry, 1 pump classic (usually they put 6 pumps of classic in it, and it's way too sweet). Very refreshing.....
50¢ refills FTW.......
A year ago I ordered two laptops for my company, one Vaio and a 13" macbook. The MB is just SO much better to use while travelling. It's smaller, a LOT better battery life, and above all, the trackpad is AWESOME. I'm sitting at a 27" iMac now, and I really miss the trackpad for exposé, forward/backward in brosers and so in. Yes, I know there is a magic mouse, but I don't like the ergonomics of it. I'd rather have a keyboard with integrated trackpad or something like that
Anyway, with all of the above the macbook is a clear winner. Haven't started the Vaio in a few month now. What a waste of money. And ofcource, the sleek aluminium design DOES look good - I'd rather have that in public than the Vaio too.

Because PCs are embarrassing?
Yeah, because many PC people have to do this.
