Former “Mac Genius” Tony Edwards has taken the sometimes fanatical love of the Apple Inc. to it’s logical conclusion by creating “The Church of Mac”. Edwards portrays the fictional character, “The Reverend Doctor Bobby Newton”, whom he describes as “a mash-up of Stephen Colbert, Dr. Michael Beckwith (of Oprah fame) and The Onion.”
