sometimes apple computer owners do seem like
a cult...

i have had apples and pc's, and honestly used to be an apple d00d.

i now prefer pc's mainly because i use them at work, and i just have gotten used to them...

this cartoon cracked me up though



sometimes apple owners i know DO seem like a cult...

You are not lame.
The joke I just told is from having spent the last 8 years my husband. Those are like 99% of the jokes he tells if that tells you anything.

20. well when he worked for NEC thats the pc we had, when he worked for Compaq---you guessed it
we had one of those, after 3 years of working for Apple we finally got a mac. I'm not that picky, i love my mac for 2 reasons, thats what i have and it was free. I got the one that was drop tested which i thought was pretty cool, this one is the "20 foot from the overhead drop test" which always makes me giggle. Yes people can be a tad elitist about macs and other things, i think, use what you like, enjoy it and don't slam other's people stuff because what difference does it make in the quality of your everyday life?

15. If one hasn't realized that the Apple Computer is the Deus ex Machina of civilized computing
Frankly, then one deserves to be condemned to the netherworld that is the PC

18. condemn me then
cause i've seen both worlds

and found both wanting, but the pc world to be more accessible to me

i don't live in an apple friendly place really either and like to get one serviced i had to take it 60 miles away.

software for them was always a problem here, but that is less so the case now.

30. Arrrgh! We need a new laptop! The 'ole ibook ate it!!!
Hi Southpaw. ;-)

Speaking of Apple- I have spent the better part of today
on the phone with, in the store with, on the phone with
the Apple people to find out.

THE LOGIC BOARD IS OUT FOR THE THIRD TIME!
And that 5 yr. old puter is not under warranty- 3 years is all you
get with Applecare-- ARRRGGH!

Price of repair- $950.-1,100.

Price of new Macbook-$1,100.

The fact that we are stone broke- PRICELESS

But- will I stray from Mac?
Hell no! It's bad enough that $140 ibook battery I bought
one month ago is now obsolete- everything I have is for Mac.

Hey- Thanks for listening.

We're kinda, sorta a cult.

But hell, you knew I was a cultist anyhoo.
:D

:hi: :pals:
