Donations for a Switcher

Wednesday, April 26, 2006

For over two weeks now, a guy named Stefan from Keller, Texas, United States has been gaining some notoriety and money in the Mac culture. What he’s been doing is posting videos of himself and running a blog trying to convince lots of people to donate to him a small amount of money so he can switch to Mac.

What makes this an interesting example of Mac Culture is not just that he’s attempting this, but that he already has over $900. It makes you wonder if Stefan would’ve ever got that money if he just said “buy me a new computer”, instead of “buy me a new Mac”. This shows, that in the Mac Culture, people are not only willing to pay money to support their favorite company beyond buying their products, but are willing to pay money to help someone they don’t know support their favorite company.
