Whatevs, all you PC users are just jealous bastards.



Oh yeah, and that shitty little g4 he was running --- isnt supposed to run final cut.

At least I dont have to really worry about spyware, viruses, or shitty support........ HA and dont even get me started on what was true and not true in that video.

It was funny though Snapped me out of a "everything's gone pear shaped" mood, anyway! (Knowing that it wasn't just my PC running windows trying to access a *nix server that was going ALL wrong!)

The one thing I like about Macs is that it's incredibly hilarious and really really easy to wind Mac users up

Very funny, even if it's not true. Recommended.

That video's actually been on the internet for a very long time.

I must admit that I have developed a hatred of Macintosh, but it's more due to one experience - my school made me edit a 40-minute video on a 350MHz iMac.

Of course, they had the BRILLIANT idea of PUTTING OS X ON IT! WITH 64MB OF RAM AND A 350MHz PROCESSOR. Maybe if they had kept OS 9.1 and used the older version of iMovie, but nooo. They said OS X was "Better. "It was sloooooooooooooooooooooooow.

This approximates how angry I was at them for installing OS X on such a slow computer and making me use it:

"ARHUkry;'skjolihjioUOHGAOGHEWUOGHWEP{GBNW:EGB KEQ:W"BGOU"WEGBo7lH."

Ok, I kinda rambled there... But there's a lesson to be learned, kiddies! Don't try to do video editing on a computer that has 64MB of RAM. Ever.
