or, for the grammar snobs, it's think differently, but
that doesn't have the same ring i don't think. i
prefer 'think different)
and agreed. nobody does want to think for themselves.
hell, nobody seems to think at all anymore.
if i had a penny for every time i got completely
infuriated with all the stupid people i have to deal
with i'd be SO RICH RIGHT NOW.

Damn Straight. Macs Rule.
that being said, i use a PC because it was supa-
cheap. using recycled circa 1997 parts for this poor
beastie (pentium MMX 233 OC'ed to 262.5 with a big
honkin' heatsink). Us FedEx Serfs gotta be cheap,
yaknow :(
what i'd like to have is something apple doesn't make.
a black G4 Cube with chrome trim and a monitor and
stand like the new 'sunflower' iMacs.
that would *Rule*.
and a fan, it needs a fan so i can overclock it.
and,as an aside, Windows XP (with all the silly
crayola interface crap turned off (disable the
'themes' service)) is actually pretty fast, and XP
home is the first really stable consumer windows.
i still want me an OS X machine, though :)
OS X= Elegant, Windows XP's 'luna' (that blue windows
look) is just retarded.
and you need one of those nice dual 1GHz Gee-Four
powermacs. ooooh those are nice. *uNF*.
and i have my own Macintosh. Vs PC messageboard, i
call it
'PeeCee Weenies and Mac Loonies'
