Pity me - I have a Dell!

Well, I'm just using it to drive an LCD display, actually. When I got the display, I looked in my stack of old computers and pulled out a 25mhz 386 (which is plenty fast enough). Upon opening the case to change a fan, I discovered something shocking:



IT'S A DELL!!!!!



It was horrible to open, too. The power supply didn't want to separate from the hard drive, and there were screws everywhere. Evil machine.



Strangely enough, I'm using it with an Apple 14" Multiscan Display... the closest to hand. It's weird seeing a DOS prompt on an old Apple monitor.

    I was close to having pity, than I read your post and decided it wasn't worth my time and effort.

    I had pity, then you said you hooked up an Apple Multiscan display to it! What did that monitor ever to you? What kind of world do we live in when people hook up Apple monitors to PCs? A sick world, a very sick world...

    And I thought Mac users were supposed to be compassionate!

    But you see... if we had pity for every single person who uses a PC, well then there is simply not enough pity for people who, for instance, have there brand new 12-inch Powerbook stolen, and have to post on AI using a PC. We pity people who use PCs, but it's general pity combined with arrogance, not specific pity

    You are lucky, when I hooked up my Apple monitor that came with my Performa 6115CD to a PC it lit the bitch on fire. Literally the PC's inside lit and was burning and smoking and smelling awful.

    so sorry for you... with those cheap computers with power supplies inadequate for the computer, a bad motherboard, cheap everything.... sorry... but I think this picture is good for a moment such as this







    I know what you mean amoyra... sometimes mac users on this forum just seem like all they like to do is bash pc's and other ppl's ideas... sometimes angers me... but.. there's no perfect person, nor forum. like congress, one just has to deal with it and compromise.
