Top 10 Reasons that the Macs SUCK!

Really! Ê

10) You can't use 5-1/4" floppy disks.
9) You can't go shopping with your friends for a Sound Blaster board because Macs don't need one.
8) Your 200 MHz 604e Mac does integer calculation equivalent to a 362 MHz Pentium Pro, but you can only brag about 200 MHz.
7) Networking a Mac is not an impressive feat.
6) Macs don't come in black, and we all know black cabinets make computers faster and louder.
5) You don't have to really learn the inner workings of your computer.
4) And the Mac mouse is too slow. We want our cursor to fly wildly off the screen when we twitch our wrist... because hyper cursors make our PCs look faster.
3) You just plug Macs in and they work. Where's the challenge in that?
2) When you add stuff, you just plug them in and they work, too. Again, no challenge.
..

Ê And the number 1 reason...
1) Your clients and teachers know about 2 and 3, so they expect Mac users to deliver results, not excuses!

RE: Y2k, 2000, Millenium, Viruses, Security Breaches, etc. Dear Worried Customer: We at [Vendor Name] are also concerned about what's going to happen to everyone's computers in the year 2000. Fortunately for us, (and you) we took the initiative several years ago to organize our systems around Macintosh computers. We have also guided our critical suppliers in the use of Macintosh computers. Unlike MSdos based computers, whose Armageddon comes in the year 2000, our Macintoshs will perform perfectly through the next several centuries. Since the introduction of Macintosh computers, we have slowly switched everything over so that we don't have to participate in the annual rash of panics from viruses, hacks, and security leaks that the DOS world seems to be constantly embroiled in. Now that the end of the world is coming, we simply expect to sit back and watch it happen. Surely we will all suffer from this fiasco in some way or another. Our entire personal and business lives are entwined in this computer system designed by short sighted geeks. Not that [Vendor Name] is totally exempt from this disaster. It's just that our systems and products will not contribute to the confusion. We can certify that none of our products know or care what planet they're on, let alone what year it is. We can also safely certify that our computer systems will not even hiccup until the year 29,740. After that, we really have no plans, but we'll get back to you.

What would *really* be scary is if the new millennium started on Friday the 13th.

- What a nice night for an evening.

Winston Churchill was visiting another country. The first evening there, at the state dinner, he pointed to the chicken entree and said, "May I have some breast?"

The hostess raised her eyebrows and curtly responded, "Mr. Churchill, in this country we ask for white meat or dark meat."

"My apologies, Madam, I was not aware of your customs."

The following day, a "thank you" gift was delivered to the party's hostess of a large orchid. The following was written on the note: "I would be obliged if you would pin this on your white meat -- W. Churchill"

A tall weather-worn cowboy walked into the saloon and ordered a beer. The regulars quietly observed the drifter through half-closed eyelids. No one spoke, but they all noticed that the stranger's hat was made of brown wrapping paper. Less obvious was the fact that his shirt and vest were also made of paper. Truth be told, even his chaps, pants, and boots were paper, including the spurs. Of course he was quickly arrested for rustling...
