Mac? No Way. Big Mac? Yes Please.

Tuesday, November 7, 2006

For all you geeks who tell me Mac's are so much better and more reliable than PC's, I say "bull crap". I will never switch to the over-priced, metrosexual-looking, highly over-rated, unnecessary, excuses for a computer called Mac's. Here's a testimonial from my friend, Kaelyn:

For the better part of the month of October I have had to call in about my (brand new) Apple Macbook (on average of about three times per week). I have also had to drive it down to the Applestore for repairs twice and the problems have persisted (poor battery performace of about 1.5 hours when it should average at 3.5)

I also just found out that I could have taken it to Titles Bookstore at McMaster for repairs so I didn't need to drive to Sherway Gardens, but of course no one from Mac could have told me that even though my address stared them in the face.

I am in the works of getting a new one; I am fed up. I have to get it re-diagnosed and then I can be sent a new one. So far, owning a Mac has been one of the biggest consumer related inconveniences of my life.

Bite me, Mac users.

On the other hand, I love Big Mac's.

    Where exactly would you like me to bite you?

    My 5 year old uses our macs... my whole family use macs!

    3 iMacs and 1 iBook and the only thing I can complain about Apple is some hassle with a couple of iPods.

    but then this is exactly what I'd expect from you, [Pernell]ton, going against the flow... taking the road less travelled etc

    Nobody is perfect!

    headphonaught - You are still my favourite person in all of Motherwell.

    Darryl - You are still my favourite Baptist in the world [it's a short short list though].

    Tim - Oh crap, you're Baptist too... well, you're my favourite Tim of all time.

    But you nerds, need a PC... really, it will change your life.

    Ah crap. I forgot how many of my friends have been sucked into the Mac lifestyle. It's a cult.

    Being an avid pc user, I'm open to the possibility that a Mac might be a better machine than what I got.......but the fact that I can buy the one I currently have AND buy groceries this month basically makes the decision for me.

    Go pc!

    My connotations on the word Apple: Greed, lust, pride, hiding from God, sin, death.
    You Macananites - what are your connotations on the microsoft words: Word and XP?
    Come, come, lets hear it!
