I'll be debunking their "reasons to switch" soon.

I hated Macs right up until I had to take care of 30 people and their computers.The only machine/user combos that never pissed me off were the two Macs and their owners.
Plus OS X = Unix on the desktop. Can't argue with that, now can we?

I heard it said, in all seriousness,that Macs were designed by guys
smoking pot in the parking lot;
And PCs were designed by guys who drank at
their desks.
You can draw your own conclusions, but
what if you have a beer and a joint?
Does that mean I could write Linux kernels?

the only thing good about Apple is it was partially started by 'The Woz'. Nobody cares for Jobs or switching to Mac.

Apples kick ass!!! The two buttons on a mouse are too confusing to me. I also don't know where I should Start in Windows. It is soo intuitive to me that when I want to eject a disk I drag it to the trash bin ...instead of the PC where I have to hit the eject button on the drive??? What's that about? Who whould ever figure that out? The only reason that I'm writing this from my PC is that my Apple is giving me a sad face when I turn it on 
At least that's prettier then a BSD that actually shows the reason why the computer didn't start.

Oh, thank you. Thank you all! My roomate's GF is a Mac-fanatic, and she's really into the whole elitist Mac-user ideal."Why would anyone EVER need more than one button?"
-Actual quote.

my reply to that would of course be "the fact that it allows me to use these neat things called context menus comes to mind."

what the hell can you do with only one button? Macs suck. period.
Posted by WillyPete on Jul. 15 2002,09:23
I thought they made pc's with the second button so you could use +AltFire?Context menus? You mean like, for work stuff?
Posted by The_Stomper on Jul. 16 2002,00:14
Damn right. Where's my wheel and altfire, dammit?!?And as far as that C&D goes, here's somethin for Apple to suck on.
