Does Justin have a single brother?

Justin and I thank all of you for your comments! While both agree that Macs are fun, easy to use, and dead sexy, we have absolutely nothing against PCs. Justin actually has an Acer Notebook as a roommate (there’s a joke about threesomes in here somewhere, but I can’t quite find it…)

See, how we agree on everything? We ARE perfect for each other

Sarah impulsive and superficial? That’s actually my job in the family.

Dana, Dana, Dana … I understand waking up on the wrong side of ‘I think I’ll start the day with a snap judgment attack on someone based on a few (humorously intended) words’ but ‘functionally identical product?’ Oh, friend, your argument just lost more credibility than Tiger Woods at a Promise Keepers convention.

You know, I had a lengthy, witty and somewhat biting response all fired up and ready to go, but I’ve got some trendy marketing campaigns to go buy into so, I’ll keep this tight. One day your tinker toy computer will beef out on you, and like many of us that have made the transition to Macs you’ll be lured. Not just by their sleek design and marketing, but their user-friendly superior functionality.

Until then, go have a long, refreshing sip of Haterade and enjoy your cheap piece of ASUS.

this piece made me laugh out loud As did the comments – it’s amazing how serious people will take these things….

btw – Macs rule. And I was on the Mac train LOOOOOONG before the sexy commercials. I think it was back when 128 kb was all you’d ever need…..I use a PC at work and a Mac at home. And yes, a Mac is better. Though I will give MS props for a better spreadsheet program.

Dana

If the car you drive has a standard transmission, no radio, and absolutely no options, then possibly you may not be a hippocrite.

If you live in a one room house with no paint, no lawn, and no power or running water, then possibly you may not be a hippocrite.

Need I continue?

Dana, you do realize that Windows 7 wasn’t actually your idea, right?

@Dana:
Really, I have to re-iterate Sara’s question, you assimilated all of that drivel in your response just because Sarah chose to write about her Mac Book? If you hate Macs, why not just limit the commentary to Macs? Why bring in the personal attack? Not only were your comments way off base and rude, but it’s sad that you need to feel better by trying to score points off someone’s creativity!

@Sarah:
I for one loved this article. It made me laugh and spurt my morning tea all over myself. Of course you would name him Justin .
Keep writing. I know that not everyone will agree with or appreciate everything you write. What counts is that you write and you engage people to think outside of their lives. You go girl!

Cute piece! Too bad some of the readers didn’t seem to get it.
