RE: Think before you buy...

[jbade@domain.elided]

John,

No offence to your pretty, cute, little prissy new computer.
But just like my Scout,  my computer isn't the best looking vehicle out on
the street.
But I can say honestly say that "My computer Blows your little G3 out of the
water!"

NEVER BUY A COMPUTER FROM A FRUIT VENDOR!

Apple has been behind the times for years... they have no real marketing.
Look at what there pushing now... It's the same thing they tried before and
failed...
Oh well some people never learn.

And besides who wants to pay twice as much for 50% less of a computer?
And also have to pay twice as much for software that is the same anyway
(even the manuals they put in with the software is the same for PC or
Mac...)
And then you have about 20% of the software titles out there.  So your
choices are limited.  And you have no compatibility with the majority of
computer users.  And that whole thing about Mac's being easier to use...
Well the truth is... IT'S NOT!!!!!

Oh and one more thing...
The whole GUI (Graphical User Interface) or the whole windows look wasn't
invented by Apple... It was Xerox who first came up with this... so both
Apple or Microcrap stole it...

OK enough ranting...


Well Maybe not!

Leave the Apples for those Little Yuppie F^&ks who drive little cars that
match their new G3 computer...

And build a real machine that will actually do the stuff you want it
to...(I.E. IH or computer.)

AMD and IH.... the only way to go... (well... the DEC Alpha too)

Oh and anyone worried about some Y2K propaganda they've heard.. Send me an
e-mail and I'll tell you what you need to do if any.

To add some more IH content.. I was thinking of adding a computer in the
dash... with a little Active matrix screen that slides out and a GPS
system.... I just need to get all the parts rounded up...
Next thing you know I'll be painting it black, adding a moving red light in
the front, and changing my last name to Knight.....

Anyway Talk to you all later..
