hip
i saw a tv show once where this guy runs into an old friend who last time he saw her was trying to buy a computer and he goes, "so which one did you end up buying?" and she's all "i went with the mac." and he stares at her intently, sits down next to her, and goes, "you're a mac person?" and then they date.
or something like that.
i am that guy. this summer i found out that a guy who has annoyed me for the last two years of my life owns a mac, and suddenly he didn't seem so annoying. because he's a mac person.
i'd like to tell you that i love compy a.k.a the 15" powerbook g4 because i'm a graphic designer. or because of the suprisingly good technical support. or because it's completely reliable and higher quality than a p.c.
which are all valid points.
but i like compy cuz he's pretty. and shiney.
and hip.
i feel so hip.
when i use compy, i feel like i've taken my first step towards my fantasy where i work in the big city.
and my apartment is feng shui-ed.
and i drink organic pink grapefruit juice.
and i drive an audi.
and i'm married to a metrosexual named blaine.
and when i'm surrounded by anti-mac people, i pity them because they obviously don't have the same stellar priorities as i do.
it's sad really.
and last week i found out that the only somewhat rational argument that the antimacs had is no longer an issue.
... i think i am in heaven.

That's still a rational argument.
And they're not compatible with anything.
That's pretty rational, too.
Macs are expensive too. My Dell can blow any mac out of the water anyday. Plus, it's easier to program on my Dell, AND it's compatable with everything, and I mean everything.
An AMD is still more powerful than a g5. Compare. The G5 did good in Photoshop but sucked it up in everything else. Plus, look at the frames per second playing Quake III. It's all about the gaming computer.
When they put a '2 button mouse' on one of their laptops, then we can talk.
Finding the 'puter that matches your needs is the important thing, right? Graphics people like mac because of the use of DVI for their monitors and it is graphics heavy. PC users like these because it's more versitile and upgradeable.
As long as processors continue to get better, there won't be an end to the Mac vs. PC war.
but when it comes to running the world, moving the data around that we all use to exchange our ideas on these silly things, well, it all comes down to two beasts, microsoft and sun. mr. torvald is pulling up the rear, but 'ol apple will NEVER share a piece of that pie... cinnamon or not.
p.s., i live in the big city, my name is NOT blaine, and the feng shui still get's cluttered.
Thanks, Jay.
Maybe I should have said that earlier.
In defence of Macs, they do some very good product placements in movies. I always try to find the mac, it's like looking for waldo.
Take that, Steve Jobs.
