Just wanted to let you guys know that Rush Limbaugh talked about the new G5 on his radio show today.

The G5 is going to go to 64 bits, and it's going to change everything - which is why I'm so frustrated that this technology isn't more mainstream.

Anyway, it's kind of cool to hear it discussed like that.
Hey, I think Steve Jobs is the coolest person that's ever come down the pike, despite his - no doubt - ultra-flaming leftness. I don't let that bother me one single bit. He makes my life really enjoyable and fun and productive.
So, anyone entertaining notions of liking their Mac a little less because some rightwing radio motormouth says he digs 'em, you might fall into the classification: idiotus politicus.
Not to the point of selling their Mac, of course, but to the point of saying/doing some other really dumb things that, really, only hurt or inconvenienced them. Not Apple and certainly not Limbaugh.
And BRussell...probably not. And I wouldn't recommend it. My participation in the Thurmond thread is already making me dizzy. I think I'll abstain from further visits to that thread and just stick to the fun stuff in these other sections of AI.
Anyway, takes all kinds I suppose. For every Perry Farrell or whoever who digs and promotes the platform, you're gonna get your Limbaughs. And that's cool because I really don't like Farrell.
Cool how that works!

Actually, when I found out Rush liked Macs back when Apple announced algore to the board, my heart was content in knowing that I am not the only member of the vast right-wing conspiracy to own a Mac.
now if we could just get McCain using Macs i'd be happy. at least the mindless drones that listen to the right wing media echo chamber will all have the benefits of the G5 rattling around in their head.
and i still like pscates, even though he is completely wrong about flaming liberals...

You can take the boy out of AppleOutsider...
I listened to the stream, and it's kind of amusing to think Limbaugh is a Mac drone. He sounds like a 13 year old fanboy on that clip:
IBM chips - it's going to be a first
it's going to double anything in the wintel world
profit every quarter since Jobs returned
most of their profit is coming from iTunes music store
uh-huh
And like Eugene and I don't understand how Apple's "politics" is keeping their market share down.

Notcie the format? Windows Media...Rush needs to raise a stink with his web jockeys and network bigwigs.

hehehehe like him or not would be cool to have a chat with Rush

I think it's things like the fact that Steve won't 'rub elbows' with Rush. If a liberal as popular as Rush had a radio show as popular as Rush's, Apple would be all over it. Steve apparently refuses to deal with Rush even though it would make good business sense.

Rush didn't mention any of that though. He sounded more like a Mac fanboy than a political pundit as BRussell already said. He even sidestepped the caller's Al Gore attack.
But yes, Apple should try to get in touch with the stereotypical Rush listeners...the NASCAR crowd basically. I wonder how many of them eat Kellogg's cereal, prefer UPS to FedEx, shop at Home Depot, use Dupont paint, drink Bud, and use Cingular just because they saw the logos on a 'stock' car.
Wow but it would make such good business sense to market Macs as so easy to use even Bush can use them!
You ever heard the "Macs are for morons?" God that makes PC users sound so damn stupid. I mean, yeah, that is good! If Bush can use a Mac then they must be pretty easy to use!
