LEAVE ME ALONE!

Why are Mac users so skinny? Well I think I know. Maybe it is all the calories they use up telling me how wonderful their Mac is. What is it about Apple that makes people follow the company like a cult leader? Everywhere I turn someone is preaching about about how much better Macs are than PCs. Apple's marketing campaign really seems to work on these people because they can regurgitate the tag line with such ease. -it just works-.

If everything on a Mac just works, then why is MacFixItForums.com so popular?
There are over 30,000 posts just in the Software and Troubleshooting section! Some examples are things such as:
-Login window stuck
-lower caSe S key not working
-Menu bar keeps flashing
-I can't drag and drop
WOW these seem kinda like major functionality issues to me.

Why do Mac users get so defensive when you say that your PC works just fine?

Really, Apple is a company that has built it's entire user base around the fact that users can't do simple things such as turning their computers on.

A Mac community

After a recent Apple conference, Mac fans were on cloud nine. One person was over heard saying that he just bought a Mac and is now part of the Mac community. Um, it's a computer not a social movement. It seems like Apple is selling not just a computer but a way of life. I am not going to be that heavily invested in a product. This parody helps illustrate Apple's unspoken message...



Windows Servers

Why did Windows Servers just bump UNIX as the top server platform? Guess they -just work-. Mac isn't even on the list. This website is running on a Windows server inside a Virtual Machine where the guest OS is Windows too! Works just great.
