People like me who have been using Macs since OS 6 are not as crazy. The new converts from Windows are the ones that are obsessive. Kind of like the way born again Christians are...

Whew! But really, it's all about making connections with people, both through the Internet and in-person. I've made a lot of friends along the way.

I don't even fault someone as yourself for "reading the tea leaves", it helps in your purchasing decisions, but what possible help is it to any one to know how many kitchen sinks there are in the Boston Apple store?

Yes, some people get into the minutiae a bit too much. But when you're engrossed with something, especially something enveloped in secrecy and even mystery, a lot of little details become much more significant. Look at the TV show <em>Lost</em>, where the tiniest blur on a single frame leads to rumors and theories and what not. To outsiders, it just seems insane. To insiders, it ranges from interesting to maybe a bit nuts. But especially in the absence of solid info on something you are very much anticipating, the smallest things become much more relevant. Me, I'm trying to read the tea leaves about when the iPhone will arrive in Japan and who will be the carrier.... Umm… kind of like obsessing over upcoming Transformers movies?
