"jeez dave, I never knew you weren't totally bsing all of this mac stuff"

It's great, he got it as a grad gift. A 15 inch PowerBook 1.5Ghz 512 of RAM... I'm bloody jealous! He posted on a forum I ran for years, and he used to always make Mac jokes... I find it super funny that he owns one now... and LOVES it. This is like... the third of fourth switcher I've had as a result of that site...

Nice. Not too bad. How many does that make for you?

I'm up to 9 now, I think.

It'll be 7 once my mom gets a Mac mini. Though I have LOTs of people who ask questions now, so there's always a few that are being worked on. I have a few friends that their next computers will be Macs.

Cool. I am still working on my first lesbian. I shall deem it a success at bi and "ownage" if beyond.

Wait. I think I will just stop at bi.
I, ASIMO.

Well, three of my friends un-switched.

I've always had to have a PC tutted away in the closet somewhere.

No, they're cheap. They bitch about the high cost of Macs and how, for that price, you should get a better video card. Interestingly, even with their PCs, they've purchased Xboxs and PSPs. I should add that they all switched while they're running OS 9 on early iMacs. None of them used OS X, so they have no idea what they're missing, although I don't think they really care. They seem content with Windows and their thrice yearly ritual of reformat and reinstall.

Interesting. I've gotten two friends to switch to macs. They both claim they'll never use anything else.
