I was chatting with someone and off-handedly mentioned I use macs, he used this as a window to tell me how much macs suck, and that he would never be caught dead using one:rolleyes:

I'm a veteran of many a silly Mac Vs. PC battle, and frankly I have really grown weary of the whole thing, so I was pretty quick to the "whatever, I like my computer, I'm sure you like yours, whatever works works" but he said something to the effect of "yeah, I just prefer 2 buttons on my mouse" (now he's done it I thought) so I said "my mouse has 3" then he said "okay buddy, stay with your rainbow colored kids computers" (is this guy for real?) which I countered with the "you do know that apple is currently selling no computers with colors other than white and silver?" then I realized I had done what I wished not to do by engaging in the argument in the first place, but it made me realize, that the average PC user still thinks apple makes fruit flavored computers, and the one-button mouse is a critical reason for them to not use apple(or even consider it)

what a waste.

Hammer. Head. Boot. Face. Knife. Throat. Fist. Jaw. Urine. Open mouth.

Laughter. Good times.

Tell him next time he's online updating his virus definitions, to swing over to Apple's site and have a look at the hardware. Then say "you are feeling very sleepy", headbutt him, and drag him outside. Sodomise him with a SoundStick and video the whole thing. Show everyone at his work the power of iMovie!

Well, this is no one's fault but Apple's...and Apple's alone. They don't lift a finger to address any of this stuff, or to market to anyone outside the current Mac faithful, it seems.

:rolleyes:

Don't get me started...I'm in no mood.

:p

The one button mouse is not a reason for people to not switch, it's just a reason for them to bash Apple. And when you think about it, it's incredibly retarded.

"Yer computer sucks 'cause yer mouse only has one button you sucking suckwad hurhurhurhur!!!!!"

This could have easily been a part of my post, after the SoundStick incident.

Recently all my friend's PC's have been dying and they've been less adamant to engage in a Mac versus PC fight. They're finding things out for themselves, now. I feel so proud.

Spraypaint his PC case pink while he's gone, and superglue a Barbie doll to the top.

Oh, and an Apple sticker.

Then, if he doesn't die of mortification, shoot him.

OMG, that actually looks COOL! :p

I mean, ignore the flowers and whatnot, but look at that cool little "mini-tower/cube" thing on the left (with a handle, no less).

Encase it in white glossy plastic (or aluminum), stick a 1.4GHz G4, 64MB graphics, the standard I/O and a SuperDrive in it. Slap an Apple logo on it and there's your damn "headless iMac" or "Cube 2" half you guys squawk about every other day!

Apple to ship Flower Power Barbie Cube (Paul Scates special edition) with complementary Colt .45 for shooting silly PC users.

And if you thought Aqua was bright...
