    at times like this, i laugh and feel cool for having a thinkpad

    (not just because it's a thinkpad, but because the plastic used is just black...no paint)

    thx for sharing though i never though macs would end up looking like a dell inspiron rubbed

    Oh my God, an Apple with such a problem? This is incredible, I have truelly lost the style vision of Apple. You will never never have this with the quality of ASUS or IBM.

    eeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...

    I'm glad I have Fujitsu. It's N6210 in the white N6010 case, and it's just as white today as when it was dressed up almost a year ago - both the palmrests and the white touchpad. :)

    Wouldn't it be cool if a pc computer company made commericals parodies of Apple's "I'm a Mac/I'm a PC" John Hodgeman commericals? I do like mac products in general but those commericals are soooo pompous and incorrect.

    Picture it: you'd have the young Macdude with orange spots all other his skin.

    John Hodgemen: :confused: What's wrong with you, is that a rash?

    Mac dude: No, it's nothing. Just a lil' discoloration.. Ummm macs are better, we don't freeze up and..

    John Hodgemen: :rolleyes: Yeah I can see that, your t-shirt is drenched in sweat- just lovely.. (feels forehead) OWWW! You're burning up kid!!!!

    Mac Dude: Nahhh, I'm ahh ok- in fact I'm cool, thats why macs are better cuz- AHHH Screw it! SOMEONE GET ME SOME WATER before my Harddrive melts!! :eek: LORD IN HEAVEN- I FEEL LIKE I'M DOUSED IN FLAMES- HEEELLLPPP PUT ME OUT=PUT ME OUUUUTT :eek: !!!
    ------------------------------------------------------
    Following commericals could have Macdude going into Tourett's screams -for the high pitched "whinning" issue. And another where his mouth is gagged and the pc guy peels off the plastic tape (for the strange plastic covering vents issue)
    Sorry for self-indulgence post- :D

    That has to be one of the funniest things I've read all day...although I just got up. Either way, great post! Those commercials drive me nuts because really in some cases Macs aren't ALL that. In a recent Maximum PC they did benchmarks with Windows vs. OSX on the MacBooks and Windows XP ran way better than OSX did on their own machine. Anyone else get this issue?
