Mac Users

Congratulations! You're officially the hippest, least racist, most humanitarian, kindest, gentlest, biggest dicked/tightest vaged computer users on the face of the whole planet. Now if only I could ever in a million years afford one of your electronic crash boxes then I would be able to count myself lucky enough to join the ranks of the elite.

RATING: 15%

I owned a Mac back when they weren't cool, and endured the smug comments of all the PC people who said the company was doomed, etc.

Now Apple sort of depresses me, though. The Mac/PC ads have come to seem faintly bullying.

And yeah, I own a PC now. Because I'm poor.

Why thank you, Glenn. I do have a big dick.

You can use my mac when you come visit, provided you sanitize your falafel-smelling fingers before they touch my keyboard.

I'm presuming "keyboard" is Canadian slang for "taint."

Who's better in bed -- John Hodgman or Justin Long?

Every Mac user knows how to use a PC, but not every PC user knows how to use a Mac. I love watching some computer genius stare at a Mac like it's the most confusing shit they've ever come across.

Didn't mean old Microsoft have to come and save the Mac from becoming extinct a few years ago? That mac memory is both foggy and puny.

Don't be jealous because my computer works and yours doesn't, Glenn. And I argue that they are worth the extra upfront cost because they last longer and require fewer repairs. My macbook is going on 3.5 years of smooth sailing, which is exponentially longer than I've ever seen a PC go without completely disintegrating. And my time is valuable so even if Dell will fix my computer for "free," I still lose money on the three hours they make me wait on the phone before I even get to speak to a customer service rep who lives in India and has an accent so strong I can't understand a damn word they say. If it takes me five minutes to talk to an Apple tech who will also repair my computer for free, I've saved three hours of my day and in lawyer hours that amounts to a pretty penny or two. Also, all Apple techs are in the U.S., therefore benefiting the economy by providing much needed jobs that PC folks shipped overseas so their shitty, barely functional computer would cost less.

ARGH. Why did I get started? Anyway, what I'm saying is that buying a computer is a lot like most purchases in that if you pay more upfront for higher quality, it is cheaper in the long run.

@loco: Tough call, but my money's on Hodgman, tho. Justin Long strikes me as the lazy in bed type.

I don't read any comments over 3 lines long.

Hey Laurie,

My Mac is about the same age, though it's sorta dying. The keypad is a jaundiced yellow color from when I smoked in graduate school, etc. But, you know. Lifestyle decisions... My Mac should've considered these things before coming to live with me.


So. I like Macs. And PCs.
