Too bad it was made up.

That "confession" sounds so well written. ;)

I laughed pretty hard for about 2 minutes when I saw this on slashdot. I then went around the office showing it to everyone who said that Apple is a stupid company for showing "switch" comercials. Personally, I love the switch ads, they always make me chuckle when I need to...

Yeah the stoner chick switch ad came on the other day and I made everyone shut up and listen to it. We were all ROFL. It was doubly funny because half the people were stoned too :p

Heh, I could see one with Homer Simpson,

"mmmm, Mac good"
(pulls crayon out of nose)
"I used to use a Mac, but switched to a PC once the brain-damaging crayon was removed from my nose."

Windows PC, computers for people who aren't brain-damaged.


I finally saw the "switch" commercial with the stoner girl -- "beep beep beep beep!" -- LOL.

AppleWorks (previously called ClarisWorks) pales in comparison to Microsoft Office XP. There's no equivalent for the versatility of Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint®. Toolbars and menus customize themselves to the way I work. I wouldn't know how to function without the Track Changes and Comments features of Word. I adore the Office Clipboard, which copies multiple elements from one file and pastes them into another.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 does more for me than Netscape Navigator ever did, and I am a surfing addict. Searches are faster; the History feature makes it easier to find that site from last week; and I can name and organize my Favorites any way I want.

I guess MS forgot that they relaesed IE and office for the mac? Never mind that they're comparing the free office app that comes with mac OS to a $500 office suite. Maybe they should compare Appleworks to Wordpad, note that they both suck, and then let you know that MS Office is available on both platforms.

Hehe.

I was talking to the neighbor's daughter the other day, who works for a graphic design company, and she was complaining about the MACs they have to use. Sounded almost like the Apple Switch commercial in reverse. She said that they lock up all the time, one day she almost lost a 100 page spread, fortunately the IT guy was able to recover it. Most of the people have a PC as well as a MAC so they can connect to the company email. I told her she could do a commercial for Intel. I wish I had a recording of her rant.

:D

Oh, and she HATES those Apple switch commercials. That's what set her off on the rant. Heh.

She does want to get a MAC at home though, just because she uses it at work and school.

BWAHAHAHA!

I chose Charles Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities. It's about the French Revolution, which I think is one of the most interesting times ever. I read the book over the weekend after we got the assignment but then realized that I had never actually done a presentation like this and I wasn't sure where to begin.

A 7th-grader reading A Tale of Two Cities over the weekend! muahahaha! And the whole thing is written in such a bland, gramatically-correct style that I hope no seventh grader could ever write like that! Definitely NOT real.
