Mac user: you're taking awhile to reply
what's the matter, pop-ups? viruses? blue screen?
hahaha

Me: unlike mac users, I actually do things with my computer besides posing with it and exulting in how good it is :P

Mac user: aiyah we don't pose lah it's your complex kicking in cos your laptops are so ugly

Me: non-sequitur :P

Mac user: besides....... on the flipside, i see less mac users exulting the goodness of mac than pc users slamming it
you slam it alot more than i exult it, that's for sure
we spend more time being productive than trying to defend the indefensible

Me: not all mac users are created equal
ditto for PC users

got a lot of PC users slamming meh
I find more mac whores gushing

Mac user: and see i love how you use derogatory terms like mac whores
you're alot more of a pc whore than you realize

Me: you're not one. yet.
but some of them gush until...

I don't whore the PC
I just get pissed off when mac users gush

Mac user: there's a difference between gushing and stating facts right

Me: there's a difference between stating facts
stating opinions
and shoving them in people's faces

Mac user: dude what are you talking about..... you shove your mac opinions in everyone's face
you're the ultimate grandmaster lord pc-whore
you're everything you hate

Me: MSN status message/blog /= shoving in people's faces
look, the principle is the same as with fundies
if they weren't so annoying people wouldn't hate them so much

Mac user: hahahaha eh msn msg and blog =/ shoving... subjective can :P
i mean if i had a blog that kept plugging my mac and i changed my nick to i love mac nicks i BET you'll say i'm a mac whore
so quit your double standards shuqi ;)

Me: mac sucks /= pc whore mah
I didn't say PC is very good
I'm an anti-mac person. I didn't quite deny that!
get your terms straight lah

Mac user: whatever lah how about anti-mac whiner
i still lub choo gab
but sometimes you really are everything you hate

Me: err.
if you can't understand the difference between action and reaction
and between promoting something and debunking faux promotion...

sigh

Mac user: well from my perspective you're the one propagating everything... all the action and promotion stems from you
because i don't know any "mac-whores"

Someone else on the above: that is living proof that mac whores = fundies
it's a match made in heaven!

rofl
i don't see how anyone can be a M$whore
slaves maybe, but not whores

i've never actually heard anyone drool over downloading the latest IE updates or SP2
but the minute Apple updates their OS...it's like WOOOO ROXXXXX WE ARE SO KOOOL

Me: yeah I notice a lot of parallels with them haha
same logic
same twisted world view
same claim that others are persecuting them when it's vice versa

Someone else: bet the Pope has a kickass 17" powerbook
i mean just look at the new ads
PC vs mac
if that's not mac gushing/PC bashing, i don't know what is

Me: haha how bad are they now

Someone else: just plain....dumb really
one of them claimed that "macs just work with everything"

Me: haha
like fundies, words mean what they want them to mean
"everything" = "everything that matters"


Someone: my cousin speaks swedish!
he di done year immersion in sweden
i can't see it being very useful in the grand scheme of things.

Me: has learning german helped your Grand Scheme?

Someone: nope
i mainly use it to annoy friends by sending entire emails in German


Someone else on the climate of fear: I'm doing a part time job calling up people for a post-election survey.. (funded by the Institute of Policy Studies no less), and everyone has been smart enough to clamp up. C'est la Vie, tis the Singapore way.
