[SmileyBoy]

2. Macs SUCK ASS!!!!

You want shitty ergonomics??? You want an undersized mouse and a blaring monitor that ruins your eyes??? Buy a Mac.

[HEyHEY]

[Endangered Specie]

15. You must not have considered...

such a remark might be taken as a compliment by some here ;)

[BigMcLargehuge]

12. that sig line image is "Kafkaesque"

;)

[pagerbear]

3. Yeah, yeah, whatevuh

[JVS]

4. Do you say "pop"?

[HEyHEY]

8. Yup "Soda" is for wierd people

[JVS]

13. Start that thread and the stupid Soda-sayers will give you a fight.

Which is better, soda-sayers or sodamites?

[HEyHEY]

16. uh...pop?

[JVS]

17. My people call it pop.

My people rule!

[HEyHEY]

18. Damn skippy!

ANd I don't mean that wierd peanut butter

[Misunderestimator]

6. MACS are for Republicans.

[HEyHEY]

10. IN that case I'm votin BUSH!

ugh...even as a joke that makes me sick to say

[Misunderestimator]

19. Well, damn... I hope that makes you sick

[HuckleB]

29. I don't know what MACS are, but MACs are for Democrats!

I guess the GOP had to try and copy us by capitalizing that S and trying to fool everyone.

Oh, they're tricky.

[stanwyck]

55. Repubs aren't smart enough

to use Macs.

[Misunderestimator]

57. Ah... come on... Macs are for sissies... Always have been...

[Downtown Hound]

60. Al Gore is on Apple's board of directors!

Bill Gates co-owns MSNBC! Macs are for Repukes? Don't think so.

[librechik]

7. boy you sure know how to pick em. Are you sure you don't want to talk abou

How Nader stole the election?

BTW, Macs are for pussies.

[baldguy]

9. Real men use PCs.

If you don't have viruses, system crashes and security holes - then you're not using a real computer.

[Padraig18]

11. Macs are to computing what training wheels are to bicycling.

Ball to you!

;)

[HuckleB]

31. Strange.

Almost all of the best cyclists I know and ride with use Macs.

We've got great legs, too!

:)

[Padraig18]

45. I ride 10-12 miles/day.

I can crack a walnut between my knees... ;)

[HuckleB]

47. A walnut?

In these here parts, you gotta be able to do that to a Filbert, or everyone'll know your an outsider.

[Endangered Specie]

14. Macs are like Bush... PC's are like Kerry

PC's may not be the best, but they sure as hell are better than Bush! (Linux is for Naderers)

[HuckleB]

Ack. Macs and Linux are Demos. PC/MS is the GOP all the way.

Check the donations from the corresponding companies, and you'll know what I mean!

[Vitruvius]

28. Err -- Steve Jobs is a Democrat, Bill Gates contributed heavily to Bu$h in

2000. And Bu$h repaid the favor by letting Microsoft off the hook on the antitrust case. One hand washes the other...

[emulatorloo]

40. President Gore is on the Board of Directors of Apple n/t

[Snoggera]

20. Hey! My sis's nickname is Mac!

Oh, seems we're on the same side.

Never mind!

[LowerManhattanite]

21. Love my Macs...all five of 'em!

Just configured Mail on four of 'em in the last half-hour. These machines are soooooo trouble free. (Yes...I have five. One G4 upgraded G3 PowerBook for road use, a Dual 533 G4 for music composition and graphics use, a Dual 800 G4 dedicated to digital video, a G4 550 upgraded Blue & White G3 as an AIFF audio archive for radio productions and a back-up A/V production machine, a G3 450 for the kids.) All of 'em speedy and virtually crash-proof.

Wonderful machines.

[SheepyMcSheepster]

22. Rush often brags about his mac

i have PC's at home, for me they seem cheaper to build and upgrade, plus, you can't really play any decent games on a mac.

i would love to have a decent mac, but i don't have the money to throw around on one.

[HuckleB]

36. Macs are actually cheaper in the long run.

This has been shown repeatedly. For one thing, you don't need to upgrade them at the same pace you do PCs. In general, Mac owners keep their computers quite a bit longer for this very reason, and that makes them cheaper in the long run.

Then again, I don't play games on computers anymore. I just don't have the time.

[sir_captain]

58. You mean

until very recently, you *couldn't* upgrade Macs, right?

Honestly, the only reason that you don't need to upgrade Macs very often is because Apple has a monopoly on their tech and doesn't raise the bar very often. Say what you want about PCs, but having AMD and Intel going at each other like cats and dogs is great for the consumer.

[HuckleB]

68. Strange.

Why is it that Mac is always ahead of those companies in terms of performance and speed then?

Hmmm.

No. Macs simply last longer. If you think having to buy a new computer every 18 months is a good thing for consumers, then, well, that's a strange assumption, IMHO. I'd rather use my money on other things. That's why I'll stick with Mac.

I like the quality bargain, and, when it comes to computers, that means going with Mac.

[sir_captain]

70. You have some bizzare ideas

who buys a new PC every 18 months? That'd be totally nuts.

"Why is it that Mac is always ahead of those companies in terms of performance and speed then?" -- Performance *and* speed? Not sure what the difference is, but sounds pretty good!

But seriously, it's not really true either. Dual G5s might be a little bit faster at certain photoshop filters than the newest Intel and AMD offerings, but I don't think you'll be able to find any objective analysis that shows that 1 single G5 chip seriously outperforms 1 single top of the line Athlon or Pentium 4. And since the rest of the hardware is pretty much the same in both types of machine now that Macs can use nearly all the hardware from the PC world, well, it's only the processor that makes any difference.

[emulatorloo]

41. Rush's only redeeming quality - and it upsets his fans so too!

I remember how they would boo and hiss on his tv show when he said good things about macs.

(Funny though I was really grooving on Win XP today)

You can get a decent mac relatively cheap if you shop for bargains. Emac is not a bad machine.

[HuckleB]

44. Yup. My Rush loving in-laws go nuts about it.

They just can't understand why we are Mac folk. This goes for the whole clan, father-in-law, brothers-in-law, sister-in-law.

The funny thing is how many times we call them to find out one of their machines is down, or their spending their weekend fixing it before it goes down again. Meanwhile, our old ones keep chugging along, doing their jobs while we kick it in the yard or someplace better.

[emulatorloo]

50. but their non-working PC was so much CHEAPER!!!! n/t

[HuckleB]

23. Anyone who puts Texas in his rear-view mirror definitely RULES!

Go Mac, Go!

Oh, shoot, I forgot. He went back, didn't he? So they could bury him in his jeans.

[asianjoanne]

24. Macs rock!

I have a mac! I used to have all sorts of PC's...Gateway, Dell, the garden variety just so I could use the windows operating system. After having to purchase a NEW PC every year (because the windows operating system would download nonsense crap along with the program I wanted to download...), my computer would freeze, crash, etc. Then, I'd still keep using my piece of crap PC until it would no longer display anything on the monitor and until I'd have to wait for fifteen minutes for one page to display! I have DSL and it wasn't supposed to take THAT long for it to load.

So, after doing that every year, having to buy $300 every year for a new computer, I gave up, got fed up, and decided on buying a Mac. So far, I've had this computer for almost two years and it runs SUPER quick, has a lot of great features, looks "high tech", the operating system just LOOKS better, and there aren't many viruses that can infect a Mac (which is good news here! Because my PC would get one almost every day). So, you know what? I USED to be a PC owner and now, I'm glad I ave a Mac! No fuss! I love it! And it uses UNIX.

[Vitruvius]

25. Macs are excellent for scientific computing -- because the OS is UNIX

underneath...

PCs are a kluge -- both the OS and the hardware. BUT -- I've made a bit of money writing specialized software for them. So I do like PC users -- because some of them have put money in my pocket.

But I use a Mac for my own use.

[tridim]

26. No thanks.. I gave up evangelical computing years ago

I spent way too much time on comp.sys.<os of choice>.advocacy in the past. Use whatever you want.

[HuckleB]

32. Dude, you're no fun for a former evangelical.

I thought you guys loved to party!

:party:

[HuckleB]

27. Mac Rocks! Mac Rolls! Mac is what life is all about!

[TrogL]

30. I was just helping a Mac user

compile some stuff and get it working...a piece of cake 'cause it's UNIX.

Compiling the equivalent Windoze package is a nightmare.

34. Oh yeah!

I haven't done this in a long time...

Peecees are for wimps! Peecees are for rePubliCans! My fuckin' peecee is sittin' over in the corner wishin' it was a Mac and gettin' all the action. All it gets is viruses, viruses and more viruses, and has to wait for me to save it's sorry ass from croakin'.

My sleek, nimble, aluminum-clad PowerBook G4 runs circles around the peecee while I work in photoshop, illustrator, director, flash, soundtrack and surf the web in Safari all while watching a DVD (Blue Brothers today) in translucent mode on top of it all. my peecee has trouble reading a CD... oh, i do like flight simulator... on my mac, i flick an F key and my entire desktop rotates in 3D in all it's Quartz Extreme glory to another desktop running pro-audio apps all in realtime, while the peecee wimpers, hoping I will pay more attention to it...

there, hows that?

[bowens43]

35. Yeah, macs would be great if there was any software

available for them.

[HuckleB]

37. Macs have all the software anyone needs, my friend.

Thanks for playing the PC cliche parade!

[Imalittleteapot]

39. MACS are LEFT.

PCs are right.

I vote for MAC.

[emulatorloo]

42. No fighting!!!! Can't we all just get along?!?! n/t

[HuckleB]

46. Where do you get along?

I just can't find it anywhere. I guess everyone's out.

[NC_Nurse]

49. We love our Mac

our PC has crashed more times than I can count from all the effin' bugs out there. Too much trouble constantly being vigilant for viruses...

My hubbie LHAO at the Kermit cartoon!:7

He's a Macophile...

[Speck Tater]

53. PC = software monopoly. MAC = hardware monopoly.

Choose your monopoly. Either way you're stuck with it.

[sir_captain]

66. Using the actual definition of the word monopoly

I don't understand how you get the idea that PC companies have a software "monopoly." Doesn't the very fact that the PC world is full of competitive software companies negate this idea? There are even lots of extremely high-quality competitive products to those made by Microsoft at this point...

[name not needed]

54. Just because I use a PC doesn't mean I even like it.

You wouldn't believe how badly I want to throw it through the fucking window.

[Liberal Classic]

56. If OSX is for Dems and Windows is for Pubbies

Then Linux is for Libertarians.

:P

Silly, I know. Computers are apololitical. Use the right tool for the job, and you'll be satisfied. There's a right job for all of them.

[NashVegas]

59. Voting Machine Software

MS based, perhaps?

'nuff said.

61. I'm a Mac Daddy...once you go Mac, you never go back

Apple rules the waves...

[Solly Mack]

62. Mack rules in my house

[Swamp Rat]

63. No PC user hatred, just pity. I love UNIX and Panther!

Now I don't have to do java stuff on a Sun Solaris system. Plus, it's easy and FAST making movies with Final Cut Pro, and music recording software like Digidesign HD is awesome.

Another nice thing: not ONE virus in 14 years and NEVER had a hardware failure and data loss.

[Elwood P Dowd]

64. Been using this same damn Mac for almost 6 years.

It never crahses and does it's Jobs :-)

My republican brother-in-law has been through a six-pack or more
of various PCs since 1998. He makes fun of my ole' iMac and then
goes home and curses his Windows PC. He refuses to look at the iMac
because Jobs is a Democrat.

[huellewig]

65. I run three operating systems on my mac. At the same time.

Panther for Safari, Mail, Photoshop.

Windows 2000 Pro for Kazaa. (In it's own window)

And Mandrake 9.1 in another window for Apache, PHP, MySQL.

And we have Fink and Darwin Ports. Software is not an issue.

And the winner is the best software ever.
http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnigraffle/


And I chug along without stressing over spyware, adware, ect... It cost a bit more but I spend my time looking for porn and not removing crap.

The only games I play are Starcraft and Solitare. That is a non issue.

[Maestro]

67. To add to the furor

I'm a pc guy. I tried MAC and they are great for photo editing, desktop publishing and the like but alas I am also a gamer. And this crap about pc's being for repukes is bunk! It all depends on how you use your pc. I use mine to fight repukes.

And with a good firewall and two free programs, I worry not about virus and worms.

Oh and BTW, if more people actually used MACS then there would be more viruses directed towards MACS. Who would want to develop a worm or a virus and unleash it on 5 people's computers. ;)

Anywho here is some more fodder and notice these are not all supporting my view. See I am liberal and accept other people's point of view for those that enjoy the computer of choice of Rush. Oh I hear O'Leilly likes his MAC too to practice all his venomous rhetoric. And finally in one of my links there is a thread at a forum that claims that the evil one himself, Lord Voldemort, aka Bush, use a MAC too. So is it really the computer of nice liberals?

[IronLionZion]

69. Mac people are so stupid...

that they can't even bash PCs. They bash Windows and are too stupid to know the difference! And hilarious part is that Macs ARE PCs. They have processors and hard drives and operating systems just like Linux and Windows systems.

And anyone who thinks Apple is a computer company is an idiot. Apple is a design company. Companies like Toshiba, IBM, Motorola, etc. make the stuff that goes into an "Apple computer". And their "Operating System" is just a dressed up FreeBSD. FreeBSD is fucking free!

silly Mac heads :P

[jocal]

71. Gentlemen Prefer Linux

As long as it's running Linux, I'm good to go.... It can be on a PC, MAC, mainframe, whatever.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

73. I bought my iBook in December 2000

It still runs great, and I've tripled the memory, added an Airport (wireless) card, and upgraded the OS to the current version.

My desktop iMac, which is from January 2000, would have been the same, except that it evidently got bounced around in the moving van and suffered a hard disk crash. But once I replaced the hard disk, everything was fine--with the same improvements.

Before that, the last major problem I had was an inability to connect to the Internet, back when I was still on dial-up. It turned out that a freeware screen saver had eaten all my TCP/IP settings. I just trashed the screen saver, reentered the TCP/IP settings, and that was that.
