I had friends in the C64 camp while I owned a Spectrum +3, we used to go at it all the time when the subject came up, until the Amstrad weirdo in the class would pipe up then it was gang up on the strange kid time with his green monitor.
Same thing happened with the Amiga and Atari ST, Game gear and Gameboy, Mega drive and SNES, etc, etc. In the PC world you have ATI and Nvidia, Intel and AMD, Linux and Windows.
People just love to justify their purchases.
