voted mac, at 17% now the number of mac fans seem to be more aggressive then pc users. the 17% is much more then the 2% of macs in the world. pc-ers have 98% of the world market, but only 80% show up
It irks me to constantly see references to there being a difference between a Macintosh (personal computer) and a "PC", which this poll implies. It helps Windows diehards/blowhards with their argument that the Macintosh isn't fit to be called a computer.
But then again, I guess there are Mac supporters out there who like the idea of Macintosh being a status symbol. Would you rather use a computer or use a Mac?
Still, the Mac is more of a personal computer than any box that happens to run Windows. (Er, I guess Macs can do that too, so let's say "any box that comes with Windows as the default OS.")
i still say, have an online webcast reality show where some brave soul is allowed to configure a windows-based pc to their liking, all bells and whistles. let the person run his or her life for a month, maybe longer, using that machine, and ONLY software that is available for windows ONLY. see how far they get.
"well, it's been pretty cool... i've got enough games to last me three lifetimes, but this accounting program i bought to manage my checkbook keeps crashing on me, and someone took over my computer the other day and erased everything i had created in the last week."
Nah, there's enough of this "reality" bullshit on. Still, kinda funny.
Let Messiahtosh do some sort of spoof on it, I guess?
"I'm, like...(sob), like sort in love with this Mac, but I don't know...I mean, I thought I, like, was in love, but now I see this PC and (sob, sob)...it's...just...so...hard, you know?" [cue idiotic dramatic music]
* cut to: two guys arguing *
"Dude, I thought I was going to get the computer! This is WRONG, dude. So totally wrong..."
"Dude, [beep] you. I saw it first. What the [beep] are you talking about? Step off, [beep]!"
[cue idiotic dramatic music again]
"The Computer...there's never been another show like it. Unless you count Joe Bachelor, The Surviving Apprentice, Average Mole, Temptation Factor, Real Big Brother World, Dog Eat the Parents and that one with those two skanks living in the small town. But we're different...no, really!"
