Celebrities That Use Macs
I've got a small problem. I live in an area that is mainly PC users (well, I guess all areas are like that). I'm constantly having to fend off all the PC weanies at my school, which is everyone but me and one other kid. I do okay when it comes to performance and software, but that forces them into a corner, leaving them only to say that noone uses a mac. I don't have much to say to that, because not to many people do. I'm wondering if anyone knew of any celebrities (or anyone else a teenager would know) that use a mac. Thanks.

J :cool:
Maybe artists like Jamie listed, but unless they are musicians or have musical aspirations even that doesn't make sense.
Just call them stupid for wanting to be like dysfunctional celebrities.
That's the number of Mac users in the world. And it isn't very small.
<strong>Just drop this number: 25 Million.

I know that 25 million people use macs, but trying to get my peers to understand that is harder than it seems.
I aggree that people shouldn't want to be like celebrities. They make me sick too. But unfortunately, most teenagers look up to famous people.

Nothing worth getting into an endless pissing contest about. You use a Mac, they like their PCs. Big deal.
Besides why should ANY of us care what some shallow, half-talent Hollywood type uses for a computer. Hell, if anything, a jerk-off movie star or poser pop star using a Mac is seen, by me anyway, as a liability...and NOT a plus.
You use one. That's all that matters.
<strong>iDude, what do you care? Why is it your job to convince your peers that "Macs are cool and ARE being used by celebrities"?

I know, but the problem is that the people that pick on me (or whatever you want to call it) won't let it up. They treat me the same way they do the homosexuals at school, like dirt, all because I use a different computer. I need something to fend them off, and they all admire, for some freaky reason, admire celebs. If you have a better suggestion than that, please give it.
Dunno if that is a good or a bad thing....
Find some new friends or a new "clique" or something. Seriously. If you're having the kind of trouble you just described, it's not worth trying to convince those people. <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" /> <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />

I don't hang out with these people (only about 5 bad ones), but I have like 5 classes a day with them so they're hard to avoid. I don't try to convince them of anything, I just want to get them to leave me alone, since there are a lot of people that deserve to be messed with.
I didn't know the president was a mac user. I thought I heard somewhere that he was friends with Mike Dell.
BTW, what grade are you?
Trust me, you would look a lot worse trying to say "Britney Spears uses a Mac." than you would just laughing at them for being such nerds.

Er, nope. That's utterly short-sighted.
Increasing the volume of Mac users increases the viability/utility of the Mac platform. We get more users...we get more developers...we get more software...we get more hardware...we get better prices...we get more users...
And Groverat...relentless arguing converted Lord Baldrick, didn't it? ...

NO ONE CAN BEAT THAT!!!!!
*or maybe he just does the commercials*
I would never say anything about Britney Spears. I hate her, even if she does use a mac.
ijerry, you're right. They don't listen. But when I'm in an argument and they ask me "who uses a mac?" I can't just say "25 million people." I need more specific names and the only significant names that the people at my school know about are celebrities, which is the reason for this thread in the first place.
I forget who asked, but I'm in eighth grade.

Its a good thing. GWB uses a Mac because he needs his computer to be as user friendly as it can be. Clinton use one because he is cool like that.
