Am I not a true Science Fiction guy because I use a PC? Use a Mac?

Am I not a true=20 > Science Fiction guy because I use a PC? Use a Mac? Gee, and I thought true science fiction folk were omni-platform. Of the nine active computers in my home I have three PCs, one Linux box, and five Macs (no handhelds, alas). All networked together and accessing the Internet through a Cisco router that runs a Unix variant. Never mind the micro-OS platforms running on the DVD player, satellite receiver, microwave oven, stereo system, car, and other household appliances... True sf folk have evolved beyond tawdry platform fundamentalism and into a glorious future that embraces *all* useful technology as an aid to the eventual social and political uplift of all humanity--regardless of who makes the CPU or operating system. Which is why, I think, so many Mormons have found a home writing and reading sf--it's broad and encompassing enough to allow us our individual preferences while still unifying us under a common search for truth and a hope for the future. Or not. We'll see...
