not ALL windows users are boring....






plus, today i showed my friends an article in Newsweek (i think it was newsweek) about Hacking the iPod (using AppleScripts and other cool things) and every one of them said MAC'S SUCK!

ohhh i got so pissed...

i GUARANTEED them if they used a mac for 1 month, they would change... but would they take me up on the offer? NO! (that's maybe a good thing since i would have had to buy them macs or let them use mine whenever I get it)

comments WHY they hated macs...
"the minimize, maximize and exit buttons are on the wrong sides!" (mainly talking about any OS before X but after 7)
"they don't have a taskbar!" my rebuttal... DOCK!

ahhhhh.... people just don't understand!

i even told them that the iMac G4 @ 800 MHz & Superdrive, etc. was CHEAPER than the Dell Dimension 8200 at 2 GHz with the exact same specs (around $700 more than the iMac)





btw... when i played the MacWorld San Francisco Webcast last week, i was even more excited THEN than when I was actually THERE! kinda weird, but anticipation to see the new design of the iMac was still there, 3 months from seeing it in person!

The article was actually in Time (the human guinea pig issue). Just a correction

That said, BlingBling is no ordinary PC user. He also uses macs. And, if he persuades his friends to try macs, we could even consider him a mac user...

Heres my new plan for dealing with stupid PC users like that.

If they say "macs suck" just say "you suck".

When they ask why you say:

"You talk differently then me, you walk differently then.... oh yeah and you comb your hair the wrong way"

Good idea googole. I don't think it would work with some of the people that are just too completely dense to understand. :P

BTW just an odd correction; slaves DID sing on the plantations, strangely enough. There are many records of this.

That said, I know many Windows users at my school.. some don't care, some think it's OK, and some people don't like Windows but hate Macs so much that they let it cloud their judgement. I know this one guy (I won't name any names ) who basically doesn't like Macs for the sole purpose of having something he can argue with me about. Basically, he doesn't KNOW why he doesn't like Macs. As he says, "well, they just suck." I ask him to explain and he says something like "I love Windows ME." or something that's totally NOT in response to my argument

Obviously, I walk away totally disgusted after a VERY short time :P

Not all windows users are boring, some people get really excited when Microsoft releases new products like an 802.11 base station, a web browser, a reliable operating system, system colors other than grey and dos turqouse, and the revolutionary new concept of selling computers with LCD monitors!!
