Have you hugged your Mac today?
Sometimes I feel all guilty when I realize I haven't appreciated my Power Book for a couple of days.

Its so wonderful. More than two years old. Still runs like a thoroughbred. And as if Safari wasn't great already, the new Mozilla Firefox is one smokin' browser on my Mac.

Oh, what's that? another major security flaw with Windoze? Darn, I hate that for ya.

Love your Macs people. And don't take them for granted. There are people out there who have to use Windoze. Be kind to them.

1. Figures
The Throughbred (AMD PC CPU) is about two years old now, your MAC from the time *should* run like one. However, isn't it a bit loud for a Mac(fan noise) ?

:evilgrin:

2. I have both a mac
and a PC. The PC is f***ing up as usual because of all the bugs it picks up.
I use the Mac almost exclusively now...it's so much better!
I just hate that so many more programs work on windows!:(

3. All day. Everyday.
The first thing I'm going to do when I get some gainful employment and pay off bills is get a Powerbook. Dot is my Rev C iMac that's almost 4 years old now but I love her just as much as the day I brought her home.

Then there's Pookie, my geriatric Power Mac 6100/60. I can't bear to get rid of her. She's outlived about 5 of my relationships. I still use her once in a while for nostalgia's sake. She's going to have to go up into the Old Mac's Home (my attic) soon, with my very first Mac, the SE called Georgie.

Are we (Mac folks) the only people who talk about their computers like they're people? :crazy:

Since I'm penniless now, I'm stuck with 10.1.5 so I'm stuck with IE for Mac which sucks and I can't get Safari and lots more stuff that's only for 10.2 +
