Hi, I'm a PC... user.. who's curious about trying a Mac. Problem is they're expensive and I don't want to sink that much money just to try something that may not even do what I need. So I figured if Apple fans are so intent on converting everyone, let them prove it by donating and buying me a Mac to try. Check out BuyMeAMac.com for details.

    Everyone else has to pay for their own computers, we're certainly not going to be buying yours. You think we really give a shit if you continue to use a P.C. or not? We don't, not in the bloody slightest. Maybe you should get your finger out, and earn the money yourself. We work to earn money, so should you. I'm sick of people begging for things. If you want one buy it yourself.

    Well don't donate. As the site says.. I'm looking for people who DO constantly try to convert PC users to Mac users. If that's not you then I'm not looking for you to donate.

    Hi, I will donate by offering this advice: You need to change your poll to 13" MacBook not 15" MacBook.

    If you put on your site that you will somehow blow up your old PC, or resonably well recycle your old PC, I might consider giving you $1. It's the poor kids in Asia that will have to deal with your crappy PC if you get a Mac....

    Tell us a bit more what you want to use your Mac for, what you do with your current PC, are you into games, etc? Do you have a Wii, PSP, PS3, XBox, etc..?

    Jeez, don't you people know a scam when you see one?



    The main question to ask is what do the Donators get out of this? NOTHING.



    Forget this douchebag.

    Of course I use it for email, browsing, etc. I also use it a lot for web and graphics design which is one of the things I'm most interested about trying on a Mac. I've also heard good things about making movies on Macs and am curious about trying that out as well.

    If you could read then you'd know the answer to your question. This site is aimed at those Mac users who want to convert PC users (obviously not you). Those who feel that way can donate and if I switch then that's one more person on "their side" so to speak. One more person to spread the word, one more person bringing in revenue to Apple as I make future purchases, one less person giving money to Micro$oft, etc.



    If that's not you.. then don't donate, but that doesn't make me a douchebag

    No, it makes you a theiving, scamming ass. No one is going to give you a mac for free. You're probably just going to subscribe to every porn site on the net with this money anyway, then buy a Dell with anything left over.



    Mods, Ban him.

    And besides. If you are going to make everyone else pay for your mac, then there is no need for you "on our side"

    People often misunderstand this concept. If Tom Cruise turns up at your door trying to convert you to scientology, he's not going to buy you a gift so that you'll do it - well, maybe he would but I think scientology probably has most of his money anyway. He tells you what he believes as he thinks it will improve your quality of life.



    Mac users merely recommend the experience to others who may have similar frustrations with Windows. For all we know, you could buy a Mac, sell it and get a better PC than you have.



    Incidentally, I'd like like to use this thread to state that I'm trying to raise 1 million pounds to offer to jessica alba to sleep with me. There are a lot of ugly chicks round my way. Visit www.iwanttohavesexwithjessicaalba.com* to donate to a worthy cause.

    So now there's conditions? "If that's not you then I'm not looking for you to donate." Take your lazy ass off the couch and get a job.

    Look, if you think you are taunting us/him or something, what the crap. Macs are for people who are non-conformists, and are willing to try something new, even at a cost (obviously not you). Your site is aimed at people who you think you can steal money from, because you think they will be dumb enough to give it to you.

    If you are not into gaming you are probably looking at Black MacBook 13" with 2gb RAM
