Damn Maggie. How did you find that one? I'm still snickering over it.

It reminded me that I have a few computer .JPGs stored away. I'll share one here, the rest I may post in the appropriate thread and BAH to the person who didn't post the link to Flem Comics leaving me to find it myself.

I switched

Other people have, too.

I've been using PCs since 84, or 85. Since the mid 90s, I've been making my living at supporting them. At some level, I think they're monsterous. Well, maybe not monsterous. But at Indiana University, I'd be one of three or four guys answering the support lines for PCs, while the lone Mac guy would be downloading audio files off the net. Sometimes, I'd even go into the student labs and download DOS shareware on the Macs, because it was easier. And I used to pray that the people wanting the Internet on their computers were Mac users, because all I had to do was give them a floppy diskette.

But I still didn't switch.

I continued to support PCs, and became a network administrator. I got my first laptop, a Dell. I quit having fun with computers. Windows 2000? No fun. Windows ME? No fun. Windows 98, Windows XP? No fun.

Then I got a new job, where I had to support Macs. So I got a used PowerBook G3. OS 9 was OK. But OS X? Shiiineeeeey. And fun! Computing was fun! A computer, was fun. Laughing at the viruses that tried to infect my computer, was satisfying...and fun!

So in January, when I wanted a new laptop, I started lusting after a PowerBook G4. I wanted fun. I wanted style. I wanted...no, I needed, OS X.

I got a PowerBook G4. It's fun. It's stylish. I love it. And I can even run Windows on it, if I really, really need to.

My name is John Lyon, and I'm a Network Administrator.

Then, you won't be seeing this either.

That Guy · 08-16-2002, 11:24 AM

Actually, I did get that one. I saw the movie a while back (of course it wasn't as good as the first), and always have wondered why the girl's parents walked into Jim's room looking for her? Or, if it was her room, why was Jim's dad looking for Jim in there? I must've missed a line or something.

perth · 08-16-2002, 11:54 AM

nah, you didnt miss anything. you liked the first better? i think i liked the second better. stifler was funny as all hell.

That Guy · 08-16-2002, 01:49 PM

I thought the sexuality of the 2nd was better (c'mon, good-looking lesbos? hell yea!!), but the jokes were "old and busted." The dude pissing on Stifler was a good example. How could you not know that you're getting sprayed down with urine? On the other hand, I doubt anyone would notice if they drank a beer with a little spooge in it ... especially if it were one of those mass-produced things from Adolf Miller-Weiser or whatever. (Not that it's ever happened to me, it just seems more tangible.)

perth · 08-16-2002, 02:46 PM

"how'd you get it so warm?"

god i laughed so hard at that line. i think the entire movie is better after a few beers, but i liked it quite a bit.

More tangible is when you get it all over your hands ... not that it's ever happened to me.

Good one, Nic.

Under the plan, which will coincide with next week's release of Mac OS X version 10.2 (also known as Jaguar), consumers can buy a $199 a copy of the operating system and install it on up to five Macs in a single household.
