I was talking to a group of people the other day and they didn't even know what a Tri-courter was. I explained it to them and was like Ohmigawd! How could you not know what one of those are! Then I got my ass kicked.

When I was working at Circuit City, there was a nice old man who didn't really know what a CD was, he was still used to audio casettes.

I dated some chick that lives 1/2 hour outside of San Francisco. She saw mine and asked "what is that?" She seemed pretty hip, too.

I didn't hold it against her, though. :)

It's apple. It's tied to Steve Jobs. The DEVIL! I hate all things Apple- but in the same way, I'm glad macs are around- a big chunk of all the stupid people are using macs, since 'it's so simple' that not even they can break it. Less stupid people having problems with their PC that they bought on the shop at home channel and running to the forums of the intra-web to type in all caps.

here we go again with the computer bigotry. Have you used an apple in the last 3 years? I'm guessing not.

Ripped every single cd I own(ed), then pawned them. I thought the 15gb would be enough...obviously I was wrong.

Yeah, it sucked. One mouse button? What the heck is wrong with them?

you know what's funny, i hated the one mouse button thing, it was stupid... but on my ibook... it makes so much sense for me... especially the way i lay my hand. on most PC's, i'd tap the wrong button or both... the ibook.. i don't have to worry :p

With that said.. OSX is nice, but me need my windows desktop. now only if the 12" powerbook weren't so hot (or expensive)

This is SERIOUSLY one of the WORST and most tired arguments someone can use in an attempt to articulate why Apple "sucks".

Usually the people who use this as their crutch don't have a damned idea what they are talking about when it comes to Apple computers.

I'd say a bigger chunk of stupid people are using PCs.

They just suck. People like to flaunt their (1) stability, and (2) hack-proof qualities. (1) If they did as much a Windows, they's be just as unstable. (2) Nobody bothers trying to hack macs, because there is not cream filling.

idiot++ so far the only thing you've articulated was "They just suck." You haven't offered any reason why they suck, you only offere reasons why people love them.

They don't *do* much. You've got MS Office, media editing, Warcraft 3... probably some other stuff, but they don't have a versatility of Windows. Not to say that Windows is without it's faults, we've all heard about that.
