Why I Will Probably Never Buy Another Mac

Linked by alcibiades on Wed 10th May 2006 19:40 UTC

I started out as a Mac user in about 1985 in a world which will be totally unfamiliar to almost all readers of OSNews. You wrote out your stuff by longhand, and a secretary typed it on a word processor. If you were lucky and able to manage it, you could dictate it. But you did not dictate into a dictating machine, because these were big heavy and expensive. You dictated it directly to someone who could 'take shorthand'. If you had a PC, it ran DOS. You looked for your files, and moved them around, started applications, one at a time, from the command line, and the command line was not pretty, it was green on black.

I was about to defeat the Overmind, and it was like bleep bleep bleep bleep and it devoured my Carrier fleet. It was a real bummer.

Now THAT was a quality post. Then proceeds to make cult fan sites about some dude who's PC crashed during the last stages of Starcraft.

Thanks for the laugh.
