My brother had some fun when his Mac roommate made fun of his PC during a moderate-level crash that would have killed his final class paper if we weren’t techie enough a family.
Week later, roommate’s Mac obliterates itself for as yet unknown reasons with the same results, only…
“Why don’t you restart in DOS? Oh, wait, you can’t!”
ah yes, the infamous “black keyboard” PowerBook G3.5

This just proves that cephalopods are not dogmatic about the PC v. Mac thing. Being rational rather than dogmatic is more evidence that they are superior beings that are just waiting patiently for us pesky monkeyfolk to self destruct and, thorugh our impact on greenhouse gases, to make the sea levels rise to better suit them.

Oh, and I messed up an apostrophe. Humans’ thumbs.

You realize that, for Mac users (at least for the men), in continuing to use a Mac laptop you run the risk of frying your manly parts thereby interfering with procreation.

Perhaps. But how many people actually put laptops on their laps?

Not only are Mac portables no warmer than many PCs, you can’t restart in DOS, but you can restart in single user (or boot to OpenFirmware on a PowerPC) or you could boot to a Darwin prompt.
One day PC users will get tired of their treasured stories, but probably not until after the Christians do.

Oh, really. Between a Mac user and a PC user, which one is usually mistaken for a maniacally obsessed fanatic?

A Big Mac fan huh?
Many years ago I owned the ‘BlackMac’.
Pretty neat but never did catch on.

You’re just saying that because you’re jealous of the human’s thumbs!
Oh, my Ed, just how many strained excuses can I come up with to link to my blog?

On second thought, go right ahead.

For a moment I thought I was looking at the FSM. I wonder what it would use btw; not that it would need a laptop, being omnipotent and all……

Whatever that picture is of, it can’t be divine. It’s not using a Thinkpad, after all.
