Rachel has a Mac on her desk.

[onehandle]

I like it.

7. Macs make people look hipper.

All there is to it.

[onehandle]

11. Macs make people more productive.

While PCs make people work harder to maintain their basic tool.

[Occam Bandage]

19. I doubt that's why there's one on her desk on the TV.

It might be, but I think it has more to do with crafting a trendy image.

[mod mom]

26. Maybe true, but Rachel's hippness factor already very high!

:hi: from a 4 mac family.

[msongs]

2. mcDonalds has millions of Macs nt

[yowzayowzayowza]

3. I kept expecting Lars to ask if her ringtone was legal. n/t

[Canuckistanian]

4. Yes, but we never see the screen, do we?

It may be a prop.

I hear she has a mini-laptop under the desk running Ubuntu Linux.

5. only one problem with macs.........

[onehandle]

9. Why build one when you can buy one?

$599

I got better things to do than cobble together a generic box.

Next you'll claim you build your own monitors out of scrap carpet and toilet paper tubes.

[DireStrike]

10. Because custom > stock?

[onehandle]

12. While you're building and fighting viruses...

...I'm already on the 'net and making money.

[DireStrike]

25. Oh you're talking about a business computer?

Well yeah then stock has a plethora of advantages.

[Occam Bandage]

13. So long as you can do your own tech support. nt

[Stinky The Clown]

17. Not toilet paper tubes .......

...... paper towel tubes.

See, this is how bullshit rumors get started ..... misinformed posts like yours.
















(joke .... in case it wasn't obvious)

24. LOL!

My girlfriend bought a Mac Mini at my suggestion. She's very happy with it. I'm impressed, too. It doesn't have the heavy-duty graphics and audio capabilities my G5 does, but she wasn't in need of that. It does everything she needs it to do, simply and without problems. The only difficulty she's encountered is when Microsoft Word crashes on her. (When Word hung up her Mac recently, she called the Apple store and they walked her through it.)

Honestly, I'd love to be able to afford a laptop with a big ass monitor. But to do that, I'd have to buy something that runs Microsoft. (I'm not interested in tinkering with Linux.) Microsoft sucks, plain and simple. Everything is needlessly complicated, looks ugly, lacks intuition, and is ripe for viruses. I'll stick with Macs instead.

I rock Macs because it provides a greater utility.

[Umbral]

14. No, it's the people that use them. nt

[spanone]

6. me too

[Dappleganger]

8. Of course she does

She's one smart cookie and Macs just work!

[NYC_SKP]

15. Let's be honest. PC's suck.

I like my Tecra and ThinkPad, but I depend on my Macs.

No comparison.

Clarification, PC's running on other than Microsoft OS, not so bad.

:patriot:

[alittlelark]

16. So do I... It happened 20 years ago for me.

[BlooInBloo]

18. That's nice.

[Toucano]

20. Oh, GOODY!

I love it when people I don't actually know use products I like and or admire. It validates me so much!

[DavidDvorkin]

21. She's okay in spite of that

Macs suck.

[Elwood P Dowd]

23. I've never had one break

and never had a virus since I changed in the 1990s. PCs suck, and Windoze is a piece of shit.

[Elwood P Dowd]

22. The Apple haters will show up here in 5...4...3...2...1...

Obama uses Macs, as does Al Gore who is on their board. Thom Hartmann has moved to Macs. Over a dozen of my friends have made the switch. Fuck Bill Gates and Windoze.

[cherokeeprogressive]

27. I don't hate Macs, but as a teacher who had BOTH Macs and PC's in the classroom I can say that Macs

are NOT God's gift to personal computing. I taught a PhotoShop class with both Macs and PC's, and the Macs (G-4's at the time) locked up EVERY BIT AS MUCH AS PC'S. PC users in the class adjusted to working with the Mac much more easily than vice versa.

The similarities are much more noticable than are the differences.

[LSK]

28. so?

:shrug:

[Mudoria]

29. I guess she isn't as perfect as I thought.. shame really
