Ok guys, floppies do suck. Many a PowerPoint presenation has been lost/damaged due to the fucking idiot who saves all the images to his PC. Or it just plain doesn't work. However, you really should have a drive.

But anyway, here's my iMac experience.

My aunt has a pink one. It does not have enough RAM to display Internet pictures.

But anyway, we're trying to get AOL running on this thing. Neither me, my brother, nor my dad have experience installing things on an iMac, let alone AOL.

So I click on whatever iMac uses for internet surfing.

This stupid presentation with stupid music comes up. After a few motion-shifting pictures of iMacs that make it look like they are dancing, it asks me a question.

"Are you ready for the Internet?"

A: I have an existing connection.
B: I would like to subscribe to AOL.
C: I'm not ready for the Internet.
D: Tell me more about the Internet.

iMacs are for people who can't use computers. Sadly, Windows, with XP, is going for that demographic also.

Actually, Bill Gates stole Macintosh's operating system and made it his own. Or so I remember. As for Macs, yeah, they do suck balls. I went to school, and we used to have Apple 2 e's If you don't know what that is, think of the power in a Scientific calculator. No imagine that calculator as the size of a 19" monitor. Now imagine that calculator with half the processing power, running DOS 1.0, with a black and green screen. Incidently, I could program games on those computers. Not that they were able to be great games.

mac's have the educational market, and always have. They are also loved by graphic artists (beats me why) In my tech experience I always had more trouble with the mac's I supported. The school was 90% PC's however I spent the SAME amount of time on like 40 macs. They crash, their memory managment sucks ass, and they are just a pain to deal with.

Some friends of mine and I were student techs for the high school I went to. We were in charge of keeping the macs and mac networks up and running because our sysop was a lazy bastard (we called him Smeagol)
Anyway, we got so sick of it that we develeoped the Mac Shaman. We went to the graveyard (room full of junked out broken down macs in the comdemned building) and constructed a necklace out ram cards. We also hung bits of broken ram, magnets and led lights from a stick we found outside. We found that waving the stick over macs, taping pictures of Bill Gates to them and chanting works almost as well as our usual repair techniques involving typing in commands, getting frustrated and hugging the server while sobbing bitterly.

The HS I worked at had 90% brand new PC's running win2k. Only the graphics dept (40 PCs) had shitmacs.
