This is inspired by the TiVo or Mac poll. I'm single but I'd rather have a sweet computer than a nagging wife. Besides, there are plenty of fish in the sea.

I think it's the bastards like me that have neither that will do best here...

edit: Poll should have had a third option.

edit 2: VVV What a dick.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh**********************ttttttt..... .........

I payed 2 grand for my PB, you think I'm just goin to throw that away for a girl?
Heck no, I always take my PB wherever I go, treat like a child, get all my work done, make some money with it, and it never gets me mad. I'd happily go looking for another gf over losing my Mac. No, wait, screw that no more girlfriends till I start settling down, till then only one nighters and the occasional weekers.
NOW YOU SEE ME! 2.4 MBP and 2.0 MBP (running ubuntu)

The overly high expectations mac users put on Apple, the obsession-esque behavior exuded by mac users during expos, the (sometimes/most of the time) snobbish attitude mac users have with regards to users of other platforms, the almost stalker-ish behavior with watching every move Microsoft makes (and always having some sort of negative view point on everything they do)...should I continue?

edit: holy dogshit, the poll is almost neck and neck. You people suck.

I'm not with anyone right now. But if it was a choice between like I dono they're kidnapped and I have to pawn my Mac for the ransom cash, I'd do it... granted I'd make back ups of everything on the HD.

That said if it was, "either you get rid of that thing or I go" I'd probably say OK bye, simply because I hate ultimatums.

That said any girl who gets me is gona have to know the Mac is important to me and won't be gone any time soon.

Yes, assholes, I am a teenager, 17. And for the record, I'm single now, but I had a girlfriend for 2 1/2 years until August. But, it's great to know the MacNN community is so full of warmth and love...

This is the most idiotic thing I have seen since well.... na I am not saying.

Anywho, if you had a nagging wife get a divorce. But with your attitude I suspect you will never even land a long term girlfriend/boyfriend.

Seeing as how I have been together with my significant other less time than I have had my Mac.
I would have to keep the Wife.
Sad thing is, Neither one goes down/ crashes very much

JESUS CHRIST, you're probably the biggest outright asshole I've seen here in a long time.

And coming from me, you know that's serious.
