it’s like rejoicing for your friends going to hell.

why the hell would you do such a thing? I guess the good MAC marketing has been paying off

Well you could have been a good leader for sarnia, but decisions like this question my faith in your ability.

It’s about time you’ve been converted. I know you were a user back in the day…but now is the time of (true) salvation for you.

It’s the bomb. I will never go back. (when you go Mac…you never go back)

Which one did you pick up?

Remember when you decided to style your hair with a big wave in front for much of the early 90’s?
This is the complete opposite of that decision.

And yes I am aware I wore a jacket with patches on the sleeve, so save the jokes.

look at the flurry of activity from such a shallow post…

jon: i picked up the $1449 mac book. i’m mostly a word processing guy, but i’ll use it for some film stuff too. plus, i can’t wait to have the 13inch monitor. i’ve been working on widescreens the last 4 years, and they’re of no real use to me, plus the size and weight suck. easy mobility is a need for me.

mega-church-phil: i really expected more from you.

chris: if you wore that same jacket today, it’d be in style.

ron: people who interact with me seem to only fit into two categories: Love Joe/Hate Joe. pick your side. :)

tony: ah yes, 6.6.6….i thought that would be memorable date for such a swtich. i did it on purpose.

I find it rather fitting that as all these people are yammering to defend the PC’s superiority, the sound on my 4 month old IBM laptop suddenly stopped working.
All hail the superiority of PC’s.

Joe- does the same apply to my yellow Converse shorts?

Comment by Chris — June 7, 2006 @ 4:41 pm

sorry, yellow converse shorts are out. continue to strive to be ‘member one’ chris, and the rest will fall into place.

So, you bought a Mac. May I take this time to congratulate you? Well done good Sir! You obviously felt like you needed a computer that works well and has a solid operating system. When it comes to computers… your taste is impeccable and your knowledge is infinite. Good choice!

thanks dan…

Chris..you wore a jacket with patches on it?

Joe…you took your big clump of hair and stuck it to your sideburns!
