The End of the War


I hereby present my Extensively Researched Irrefutable Reasoning of the Superiority of PCs over Macs.

The drummer from Def Leppard – a beacon of hope and inspiration for maimed and disabled creative geniuses everywhere – could not use a Mac. Or at least not a Mac mouse. There is no way that the one-armed percussion juggernaught could possibly respond to his kilobytes of fan-email, cut and paste live action snaps for the Revival Tour promotional material, or complete his personal tax return online without the benefit of the right mouse key.

Apple-key plus single-button click? Puhlease.

And those talking head ads with the kid from Third Rock were amusing for about half a second, but can anyone at Apple say “dead horse”?

So kids, save yourself a few pennies and support limbless technophiles everywhere. Say NO to the sexy little milky white knobule. Say YES to the ugly grey rock with two buttons.

I had three pc's die on me before I threw caution to the wind and bought myself a sexy white mac.

Call me crazy, but there is nothing more frustrating then the function, Ctrl + Alt + Delete.

I have been called a yuppie, a sell out, and even more confusing, a communist, for purchasing the Mac. But hey, as long as I don't lose an essay that is three quarters done I will put up with the slander.

I completely agree that one armed music legends may have a bit of trouble negotiating the Mac, but isn't that what groupies are for?

So it really is true that the drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm? The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm? The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm?
