I had a $350 Acer laptop a few years back. First thing I did was put an Apple logo sticker on the front. I graffitied the entire thing with bumper stickers and band names and threw it around constantly. Now I grimace if I see a fingerprint on my white MacBook. Ironic, as it's built like a tank, and my Acer fell apart pretty quickly. Live and learn.

Question though: Why would you go to a forum like that? Not just because of the hate, but due to the fact it's completely unprofessional, with porn banner ads galore and a members base that represent internet scum.

Also, sometimes the discussions can get better. For example, starting from page 8.

I hate people like that. I know exactly how they are from the types I've met in person. Blunt, arrogrant, illogical, tasteless, etc.

Hating the people who you call haters wont make you any better... Or less arrogant, illogical...

Only read the first page but I laughed at the guy who said (something like)
"-Not a main computer
-$1250
-Main reason why Macs suck"

That's like a homeless guy ridiculing a guy in a Ferrari for owning a $150k car that he only drives on weekends.

So you think that if you buy a $1250 computer, you are in the same league as Ferrari drivers?! Have you even got a car at all?!



Why is this bloody site is filled up with threads and posts about hating this and hating that? I think a good position is just to grow up or not to give a ****. Maybe for some people, Apple hardware or even computer hardware is not a central dilemma. People have lives, not just computers.

I didn't claim it does, and also note I was talking not about those who dislike macs, but those who say "I don't hate macs, just the people who use them", then proceed to bash both.

It's just weird. I dislike Windows, but I really don't find the time or the need to go and and on about hating it.

But thanks for the nonsensical personal attack.

Must Register?

I am not able to read the posts on the link anymore. It just brings me to the log-in screen. I would like to read them (for some laughs). :)

That thread got deleted because it turned pretty ugly with severe insults being thrown around.

Darn. I guess I should have read it all when I first got there. Things must have gotten nasty (worse than what I've seen on MR)! :)

Why do people have to get so personal about "personal" computers? What if we got into these arguments about everything that we buy? "You have a Serta mattress? Those suck! Posturepedic is way better! You're an idiot!" Can't we all just get along?
