Mac Like Me
Isnít it time you got rid of that uninnovative Windows thing thatís just one big motel for viruses? Hereís a story of a guy who switched to a Mac:
ì...everything is more instinctive. However for someone used to using Windows, such as myself, itís a difficult transition, you end up hunting for programs that you donít need to hunt for, because theyíre right in there for you, you just donít realise it because it normally isnít there. This is best illustrated with something that I discovered quite by accident with iTunes. I had downloaded an MP3 file, (www.mookee.com if youíre interested), and played it using iTunes. To my utter delight, it moved the MP3 file from where it was, renamed it to the same style as my CD ripped music files, and had added it to the library, not tacked it onto the end of my play list, or overwritten my play list with just that one song. To achieve such an effect on Windows you have to download a third party MP3 player, and possibly an add-on to do that for you. It is small, nice, differences like this that make using OS X such a pleasure. What was once a chore in Windows is a breeze in OS X.
This bit from the comments section, posted by ìBob Jones,î explains it all:
"The only problem with Microsoft is they have no taste... I don't mean that in a small way -- I mean that in a big way, in the sense that they don't think of original ideas, and they don't bring much culture into their products... So, I guess I am saddened, not by Microsoft's success -- I have no problem with their success; they've earned their success for the most part -- I have a problem with the fact that they just make really third-rate products."-- Steve Jobs; Triumph of the Nerds/PBS documentary interview (May 1996)
Macs are for fags.

Lean, Does that mean I'm officially a queen?

Amy Alkon is a fag with breasts and other exciting accoutrements.

Amy, don't worry that Lena calls you a fag. Aparently, to Lena, a fag is a person who expects that when a camera, printer, etc is connected to her computer, it will instantly and corectly handle the new device, and that no techno geek need be called upon to figure out how to configure the system. When I conected a camera to my mac for the first time, I did it without loading any application software, or software drivers, or anything. I just connected them and watched to see if anything happened. The computer found the pictures in the camera, and moved them to the appropriate folder. I was impressed. Try that on a PC. A fag must be a person who wants to be able to get a lot of practical use out of a computer without having to waste a lot of time studying user manuals and calling tech reps.

You're right, Brick. A fag is a person who wants to use a computer without having to read manuals and call tech reps. Time is precious, especially for fags who take about 45 minutes to apply mascara.

Thanks, Brick, for defending me, but I'm very fag-positive. And Mac positive. They go together like mascara and me.
