Charlie Brooker on Macs

[franceslievens]

For all you people that have been subjected to my never-ending praise for the Mac (pats computer), comes now Charlie Brooker's Guardian column entitled "I hate Macs". It's a great rant on why the Mac-user is only a pretentious piece of packaging without substance.

Link through Crooked Timber.

brooker's so funny, my favourite line's gotta be: 'The only way to have fun with a Mac is to poke its insufferable owner in the eye'

I still believe in the superiority of my OS, though. ;-)

Nah, I got converted by the bf. My laptop got stolen and I started working non-stop on his iMac, and well loving the OS in the process. I haven't worked with any Windows version since Windows 98, so I can't realy compare anyway. I simply love the way my computer looks and no, it wasn't rediculously expensive.
