The joy of Macs

[petengelda]

One of the joys of having an Applemac computer is when Gabriel from Windows Technical Department rings up and asks 'Is your computer on, sir?', 'Yes', 'Can you see the start button?', 'No', 'At the bottom left corner of the screen', 'No', 'It's a green button', 'I can't see it.', 'It's a green button which says Start', 'No, I can't see it', 'In the bottom left of your screen, a green button which says start', 'No, I don't think Applemac computers have them'.
Line goes dead. You can play them for ages if you have the time.

why do they ring you, then? I don't get it.

[cazzz1975]

it says more about you than "gabriel"

[boxtops]

I thought this was about raincoats....

I do find that Mac users have their own distictive brand of snobbery and defensiveness.

[ChuckFickens]

But Linux users look down on Mac users AP :)

I just assumed this was a post by snags trim... ;0)

[Milvus]

Shouldn't that be Linux user Chuck?

[Answerprancer]

I think the percentage of Mac users that are the most militant are former PC users who used to spit chips about Macs.

[cazzz1975]

its mac snobbery that put me right off owning one

[woofgang]

not defensive but yes I am deffo "neener neener I got a Mac and you don't" :-)

[LoftyLottie]

I used to work on an Applemac. Was happy to leave it behind. Sorry Woofy!!

[cazzz1975]

I dont understand it woof, I can build my own pc to my spec, where as with a mac, you get what they give you

[woofgang]

But I love what they give me.

[ladybirder]

Me too Woofgang, me too.

[cazzz1975]

One of my first jobs in IT was supporting about 200macs on a 10base2 network..... it was a freeking nightmare!

[woofgang]
