i'm waiting for a "makeover" of apple. i know macs are more stable. its just that i learned on a pc, and steve jobs is a leftist dweeb.

back in the '80's jobs was so arrogant to overprice his machines, it gave bill the foot in the door.

history ever since. ipod, iphone... no icomputer... except in hollyweird films. :)

[Spktyr]

Um.. the iMac.

[robomatik]

i’m just a pc guy. i like the interface. macs are o.k. i just learned on a p.c. and i prefer it.

[Spktyr]

Guess you haven’t been paying attention. There’s been about four to six “makeovers” of Apple since 1990.

[robomatik]

the “makeover” comment was in reference to avon.

[Spktyr]

Oh, and, by the way, Steve Jobs may be a leftist, but he’s not so much of a dweeb.

You like PCs?

Run Windows? Bill Gates is far more leftist than Steve AND he’s about to retire and use his billions for “philanthropy”... and supporting the Democratic Party.

Linux? Most of them are, again, bigger lefties than Steve. Google’s money mostly goes to the Dems.

How about that hardware? Yup, most of it is made in China no matter what you buy (though Apple does make an effort to support our actual allies, the Taiwanese, over the mainland Chinese), so your money goes to the Chinese. Which then goes to support the Democrats.

On top of that, when was the last time you used a Mac, and how old was it? Most Windows interfaces are bad drug-filtered interpretations of the Mac interface.

She was initially recruited by Dell, but she told them, “If you put lipstick on a PC, it’s still a PC.”

<--- munching popcorn watching you have a conniption fit.{{munch munch}}
i'm not here to argue os's. just for news and some late night humor on my part.

[robomatik]

p.s. the last time i used a mac was in ‘99

[SunkenCiv]

She’s on the Apple board? Talk about a Lipstick Lesbian... /sarc

[Spktyr]

Then you've missed a *lot* of UI changes.

[Spktyr]

It’s only humor if it’s funny. You’re not.

Don’t quit your day job.

[robomatik]

whoah! didn’t mean to offend your mac machine. maybe take a lude and go to sleep.

[Spktyr]

And now you’re calling Mac users druggies? Wow, you get better and better.

Maybe *you* should take one of those little pills and chill out for the night.

[robomatik]

no! i’m not calling mac users druggies. lets just agree to disagree. you like macs. i don’t. thats it. end of humor. please stop posting to me. if it makes you feel warmer inside, you win. macs are great. i love them. please stop posting to me. thank you. i wish mr. jobs all the best.

... back in the '80's jobs was so arrogant to overprice his machines, it gave bill the foot in the door.

Uh, check your history. Steve Jobs wanted to price the original Mac at $1499. John Sculley, then CEO, over-ruled Jobs and priced it at $2495 to establish a 55% profit margin. It wasn't long after that that Jobs was ousted from Apple.

Then you have not used a Mac. There is absolutely no relationship between the 1999 Mac and OSX... save that OSX will run quite nicely on a 1999 Mac.
