Hello everyone,

I don't post here very often but a friend of mine introduced me to a musician she liked this weekend named Jonathan Coulton. While I was perusing his songs, I came across one called A Laptop Like You and any Apple fan will immediately recognize this as a love song to a PowerBook. I thought I would share.

Hope you like it,

Paul

A very nice song, like the tune.

That's just weird.

I had to turn the song off when he sang, "You make my lap hot."

This is why Mac users get made fun of.

You don't think the song is meant to be humouristic?

How'd you do that? I clicked on the player - but the only
save option was "as QT movie"...after that what do you do?

I believe he's referring to the fact that the aluminum powerbooks (especially earlier revisions) have a tendency to run a little hot and therefore make your lap hot, not... whatever YOU were thinking.
