As I was a PC, oh yeah I was PC to the last atom of my being. I did not hate mac users, however, I loathed them. I would be like a combo of a redneck and an immigrant. I would treat them like BEEP. Weaklings, snobs, uptight, show offs, "common"people, good for nothing... I mean, the list goes on. I hated the Mac OS and everything that came with it. My DNA had PC code in it, I was good, i mean, GOOD at the PC hardware and software relationship. -sigh- oh those memories. My boyfriend was jealous that the computer, not the internet in my case, the computer box itself would get more time and attention with me. I did not surf the net much, It was about doing things to my system, and the system loved me back. That reminds me of that song by Kate Bush, "Love and Understanding" Well, I never went that far.. LOL but my PC had a name and she was loved. Then when she died I had a male PC and he was okay. I had to give him away .. because I am utterly stressed and I am at a girl friend's house and I want some music she is playing and I ask if I could have a copy.. and I figure this is going to take a while.. She popped a CDR, selected the playlist and burn, a few minutes later, done. I was like "WTF!" Yes, I am sure this is possible on the PC but .. I guess I just liked doing it the old school way, the long way, the other way, the against the stream way.. because I was blown away by "its ready" .. I know is silly, but i cannot explain it. It was like .. for the first time I allowed myself to open my eyes and see Mac for what really was, whether better or not than a PC, I saw her and I fell in love with what I was holding in my hands. That moment, I swear, changed my life forever. As the quality of my live improved, in many ways that I could relate to that experience. I found "love" in the least expected place. It was a G4 iBook, white, 12", wifi, clean, no cables, no stuff, things that worked.. i just knew it, I found my perfect companion. -sigh- I ♥ Mac! I urge PC (Windows) users to open their minds to a better or ok. ok.. different way of computing! The power trip you get on the myth "you can tweak your PC" but cannot do it on the mac? Guess waht buddies, that's what "terminal" is for and if you really know what you say you know.. you are using the wrong OS. and you know it, the real elite doesnt use Windows. Well, heck most likely they don't use mac os, but whatever.. you ain't it. That would make ME a transputer or something like that. As I was a PC, oh yeah I was PC to the last atom of my being.
