Bye Bye Apple

[Abstract]

Why the announcement? Feel free to buy whatever you want without telling us. Switch back to the Mac next week, or stick with Windows, or stick with Macs. Whatever.


Anyway, I just bought a box of Sorbent tissues and saved $0.50. Bye bye Kleenex.

I expect to see a thread detailing your experiences and reasons for making such a dramatic change!

I also expect to see scathing remarks from Puffs Plus fans, listing specs and harping on the fact that Kleenex hasn't "innovated" in the lotion-laced tissue market. Especially now that it's allergy season.

Stop it. You just made me cry.

And I have no tissues.

Someone is going to look as silly as this "Apple / iPhone will fail" guy in a few years.

I heard that 7 workers at the Kleenex factory have committed suicide in the past 4 months, but perhaps that's just a rumour, or something that I made up.

Was the OP's purpose for making this thread to simply troll/piss others off or to wish for someone to help him convert back. If the former it's working, if the latter its not.

Unfortunately you've fallen for the media propaganda. Three of those workers were in the tissue folding department for Velvet, two of them were cardboard box painters for Scotties and there also was one tissue bleacher who was working at the assembly line for Puffs... Kleenex just gets all the media bashing because they are the most popular brand.

I really don't know.

However, I'm beginning to think that we've been entering some sort of golden age for pyschiatry and allied fields, with so many people posting, blogging and tweeting.

I mean, there's just sooooo much source material now - it's gotta be an embarrassment of riches to them in many ways.

I didn't read that longwinded OP, but I will say I'm perfectly happy with Snow Leopard. I've used it on numerous machines and it runs very reliably. Leopard does also, but 10.6 has been faster all around for me.

I've read about the features in Lion, and while I don't think they're the huge PIA people think they are, I'm in no hurry to upgrade.


....and as an aside, I love Abstract's typical deadpan. He makes valid points and gets a laugh without stepping on toes.

 

[Starfighter]

Wait, so... Why is so many just being angry instead of making good points? It started out pretty good but then - not so much. I like discussions like this because I want both sides, pros/cons ans do on.

Think you will get a shock when windows 8 comes if you think os x is too Locked down!

If you follow the Windows 8 news on Neowin, the shock is already happening.

Having toyed around with both Mountain Lion and Windows 8, I fail to see how any of them are 'locked down'.

 

[thewitt]

What a joke. Posted this thread 17 days late I thnk.

He's trolled all of you of course.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Apple is making huge inroads into the Enterprise, and their MacOS platform is healthier than ever before.

Not going anywhere but up.
