Charlie Brooker, a Guardian writer (beyond that, I know nothing about him) has written a piece on how much he hates Macs. It’s quite funny in places.
“I hate Macs. I have always hated Macs. I hate people who use Macs. I even hate people who don’t use Macs but sometimes wish they did. Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.”
He goes on to say,
“The only way to have fun with a Mac is to poke its insufferable owner in the eye.”
This is in reference to how Mac’s are being portrayed as more ‘fun’ than PC’s. Even more amusingly, is that the author has commented on his own piece (piffle), complaining about how the article was edited and so on.
Well worth a read (take it seriously at your own peril). And, I hope Mr Brooker is featured in the next outing of ‘Grumpy Old Men’ if this article is anything like his normal output. I’d imagine he’d be quite entertaining.
