4. I'm thinking about it too
My laptop is just too shit for words and needs replacing. I am thinking about getting a MacBook. I run Linux on my desktop, but it'd be nice to have a computer that works too. :7

So fucking expensive though. x(

Ballmar's always trying to outdo Bill

23. Of course, you must own Macs to make a statement like that
Steve Jobs is blowing Intel now, so when Gates buys Mac, what's next, beads and seashells, tin cans with waxed string, or an abacus?

25. Sarcasm?
XP's just finally stable now, and it still has weird glitches. Speaking as an XP user here.

26. Then my apology for accusing you of treason
Since SP2 I've had zero problems with XP, but I only use Pro because of it's better networking features. I just get pissed when Mac users knock the crap out of my choice in OS. I don't care if they use Macs, becuse eventually, just as in the Beta/Vhs fight, only one will survive. And when Mac becomes the operating system of choice for the business world and not just their marketing departments, I'll eat my PC.

14. I'm mad at Vista. Microsoft threw a huge fireworks display a couple of nights ago
for the release. My dog was scared and I was confused and thought it was New Year's Eve.

But I use a Mac so I wouldn't be buying anyway.

16. Not me. I'm waiting for the barnstormers to report back, though.
I want to know what Vista is going to do my computer.

21. I'd rather buy and use a disease infested hooker.
It'd be safer and more secure...
