www.macintoshsucks.com

[C.O.Jones]

Why? Bill Gates and Microsoft suck (they just have a wider variety that's way cheaper).

[Trunks]

hmmm..... when i open that page no matter what link i click on it keeps http://www.macintoshsucks.com in the address bar, even if i click the "msn home" link (which leads to msn.com) and type something in the search and click that link, the macintoshsucks stays up there

wow...good money put to great waste....good job ;)

[intangibleassetmanager]

Yeah, way to go.

I really don't want to start a flame war, especially since I only check the board once in a blue moon, and post even less frequently, but ... I felt the same way until about six months ago when I bougth a 12" powerbook. It fit all of my criteria; Small, lightweight, durable case, and cool looking.

I hated macs until I owned one. You know those Apple commercials with Mac users saying "It just works?" It's true. I'm an accountant, wasting time fixing my pc isn't my idea of a good time. I'd rather be out burning pavement or drinking beer and chasing hotties.

My computer should be like my car; I know how everything works, I know what parts are good, I know rocker ratio I want, which gears to put the diff, I know how to speak the lingo, but I'll leave the actual wrench turning to my mechanic. If some goes wrong with my powerbook, I'll let Applecare worry about it.

Then there's the "wow" factor I always get from other people whenever I pull my powerbook out to use. Hot chicks dig guys who use macs (that's my story and I'm sticking to it). Last time I was on a business trip I met a very, ah, pleasant young lady who intially starting talking to me about my powerbook at a starbucks. (I was there using the hotspot to check my email and do some research).

And as to Bill liking your gift, it was Microsoft that bailed out Apple back in the 90s with a large investment, and Microsoft's Mac Business Unit is responsible for some damn fine software (office for OS X, Virtual PC). I wouldn't be surprised if you get a nasty-gram from a MS attorney.

But hey, you're certainly entitled to your opinion, as I am mine. It's a beautifull world really.

Kudos bob, on hittin' on the honeys while getting the coffee and email [img]graemlins/banana.gif[/img]

As for the Apple vs. MS pissing match.... there is a place for both platforms. It's about choice, just like Firebird or Camaro. They both do the same thing, just look different.

I continue to convert all the pc techs into understanding Apple is not so bad... just by letting play with the iPod and then they get one. We now have 1/3 of the Detroit team with iPods. 1 is a new mini. All of our NY tech team has iPods. And the funny thing is... it's a 50/50 split of what machine they are sync'd up to.

Enjoy what you want, I'll enjoy what I want.

I think this sums it up best (Thank you 3 dead trolls in a baggie)

Every OS Sucks
Well Hi there. Thank you for downloading another fine quality comedy product from Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie and your friends at MP3.com - good for you. Of course, if you've downloaded this from Napster - Screw You! You know what - free isn't good enough for ya? You've gotta rip us off? That's okay! I will find you, and I *will* kill you, ha ha ha.

You see, I come from a time in the nineteen-hundred-and-seventies when computers were used for two things - to either go to the moon, or play Pong... nothing in between. Y'see, you didn't need a fancy operating system to play Pong, and the men who went to the moon--God Bless 'em--did it with no mouse, and a plain text-only black-and-white screen, and 32 kilobytes of RAM.

But then 'round 'bout the late 70's, home computers started to do a little more than play Pong... very little more. Like computers started to play games, and balance checkbooks, and why you could play Zaxxon on your Apple II, or... write a book! All with a computer that had 32 kilobytes of RAM! It was good enough to go to the moon, it was good enough for you.

It was a golden time. A time before Windows, a time before mouses, a time before the internet and bloatware, and a time... before every OS sucked.

*sigh*

Well, way back in the olden times,
my computer worked for me.
I'd laugh and play, all night and day,
on Zork I, II and III.

The Amiga, VIC-20 and the Sinclair II,
The TRS 80 and the Apple II,
they did what they were supposed to do,
wasn't much... but it was enough.

But then Xerox made a prototype,
Steve Jobs came on the scene,
read "Of Mice and Menus," Windows, Icons
a trash, and a bitmap screen.

Well Stevie said to Xerox,
"Boys, turn your heads and cough."
And when no-one was looking,
he ripped their interfaces off.

Stole every feature that he had seen,
put it in a cute box with a tiny little screen,
Mac OS 1 ran that machine,
only cost five thousand bucks.

But it was slow, it was buggy,
so they wrote it again,
And now they're up to OS 10,
they'll charge you for the Beta, then charge you again,
but the Mac OS still sucks.

Every OS wastes your time,
from the desktop to the lap,
Everything since Apple Dos,
Just a bunch of crap.

From Microsoft, to Macintosh,
to Lih-- lie-- lih-- lie... nux,
Every computer crashes,
'cause every OS sucks.

Well then Microsoft jumped in the game,
copied Apple's interface, with an OS named,
"Windows 3.1" - it was twice as lame,
but the stock price rose and rose.

Then Windows 95, then 98,
man solitaire never ran so great,
and every single version came out late,
but I guess that's the way it goes.

But that bloatware'll crash and delete your work,
NT, ME, man, none of 'em work.
Bill Gates may be richer than Captain Kirk,
but the Windows OS blows!
And sucks!
At the same time!

I'd trade it in, yeah right... for what?
It's top of the line from the Compuhut.
The fridge, stove and toaster, never crash on me,
I should be able to get online, without a PHD.

My phone doesn't take a week to boot it,
my TV doesn't crash when I mute it,
I miss ASCII text, and my floppy drive,
I wish VIC-20 was still alive...

But it ain't the hardware, man.

It's just that every OS sucks... and blows.

Now there's lih-nux or lie-nux,
I don't know how you say it,
or how you install it, or use it, or play it,
or where you download it, or what programs run,
but lih-nux, or lie-nux, don't look like much fun.

However you say it, it's getting great press,
though how it survives is anyone's guess,
If you ask me, it's a great big mess,
for elitist, nerdy shmucks.

"It's free!" they say, if you can get it to run,
the Geeks say, "Hey, that's half the fun!"
Yeah, but I got a girlfriend, and things to get done,
the Linux OS SUCKS.
(I'm sorry to say it, but it does.)

Every OS wastes your time,
from the desktop to the lap,
Everything since the abacus,
Just a bunch of crap.

From Microsoft, to Macintosh,
to lih-lie-lih-lie... nux.
Every computer crashes,
'cause every OS sucks.

Every computer crashes... 'cause every OS sucks!

For what it's worth, Teh Steve paid a cool $1mil to Xerox to use what he saw in the Star. And even then, it was quite different.

Not to mention I paid for my Windows XP betas and still had to buy the full version too. =/

[MTMike]

What'd that set you back $ wise??
