How will I ever convert her...
Ok I'm talking to my girl on Yahoo! Messenger and she is doing all these weird smilies that I can't see and tells me I really need to get the newest version and I tell her I have the newest one I can get. So she's mad I can't see her things and tells me that Macs suck because they cant even do that, plus I can't see what color her font is in or her background. Argh! She says Apple sucks and all this junk and that Compaqs rule. How is one ever going to make her see the light if she thinks that Macs cant even see font colors? It's trivial to me that I can't see them considering the newest Mac version works fine and everything.

What's she smoking?
BTW, Yahoo Messenger is a POS. Get her to use something else.
Actually I know Yahoo! Messenger is a POS 99% of the time we talk on AIM.
And no, I'm not getting a new girl. I don't care if she won't use Macs.
it's a computer.
real life interaction shouldnt be dependant upon platform choice.
using a mac is not a lifestyle choice. the computer is the tool. if you fail to realize this, it's you that is the tool.

Approaching this by attempting to "convert" her to whatever standards you have isn't exactly the best method. Computers are mostly chosen by taste -- Macs just aren't her flavor at the moment. Again, who cares? There's no use in getting anxious about something this petty.
If there's really a need to display the emotions that smilies and fonts/colors offer (if any for the latter), then either go see each other face to face or compromise on a communcation protocol that actually meets both your needs. Welcome to relationships
P.S. It's a little hard to communicate face to face right now. She lives in NC.
Welcome to relationships? I think I already know a little bit about them.

LOL, yeah when I don't spend all day at AI.

Good question. I must be doing something right. We've been together for 18 months and now it's a long distance relashionship (well about 40 min away) since she lives in Queens and I moved in June.
