[Melvil]

Erm, not really bothered about that tired old horse, the pc vs mac debate, but thanks for the firefox startup tips - worked a treat!

quite right. back in the days when we had system 6/7 and the pc brigade were still running dos and early versions of windoze, we could look down on the poor misguided fools. these days windoze has caught up enough for the argument to be as pointless as the more on-topic shimano/campag flame war that cycling forums occasionally generate…

the pc vs mac debate

There is no debate.

Macs are better.

End Of.

Start of?

See!! I've even turned you!!

Macs are rubbish. They're made by orphaned legless Taiwanese midgets on 20p a week, they pollute the atmosphere more than Chris Eubank's truck, and the chemicals on the keyboard induce the menopause. In men.

*ahem* 15p

In recent studies, scientists discovered that the average Mac user was typically thirty five percent lower down the IQ scale than the average PC user while they were more likely to be influenced by the aesthetics of their machine rather than actual performance.

At least when I speak, the words come out when I move my mouth!

That's not a my little pony! It's a replica Trojan Horse made entirely from the serrated tear off strips from the top of 6 pint milk bottles!

I'll have you know, btw fwiw.

Ahh, but we hear you're like that about women.

Not at all old bean, given the choice of a shapely woman with long blonde hair, large perky breasts and a cheeky little pink vulva or one with a drab appearance and a PhD in astrophysics what would you go for? There's just no competition is there?

Well, not if you have first dibs dear boy.

recent studies eh? i'll take the lack of reference or link to mean that this falls into the bonjean category of academic research, or utter bollocks as it is known to the layman…

 

[alecstilleyedye]

No, it's true, comic-store-guy.

it must be, as it's on the internet…

btw, you can count the number of times i've visited a comic store on the fingers of the hand of a saudi arabian shoplifter.

I've got a friend and he had a regular comp. - but gave the whole set-up to his sister and bought himself a Mac.

Never looked back since.

Though he did manage to lock himself out of the dam thing once which as a good story.

But that could happen with any laptop.

Oh good grief, where to begin with this mess? Apart from it being pulled from your arse, of course. How about "false dichotomy" for starters?

Don't much like the look of yours, Dom.
