post some observations. sum up experiences here in the lounge. just try to not be too vicious about it.

1. noone wants to pay for anything.
2. everyone has to have the best everything, and will argue to no end to try and prove it.
3. there are probably more girls among us than we think.

7) Everyone who agrees with Apple for any reason is an apologist.
8) Everyone who disagrees with Apple for any reason is a troll.
Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them.

10) Discussing Macworld NY 2002 is more polarizing than discussing religion, politics, or Americans.

15. There's 99 times out of 100 already a thread somewhere that suits what people want to post about, but most people just hit Post New Topic anyway, because they are retards.
When you were young and your heart was an open book, you used to say "live and let live."
But if this ever changing world, in which we live in, makes you give in and cry, say "live and let die."

22. <a href="http://www.digitalvideoediting.com/2002/07_jul/features/cw_macvspc23.htm" target="_blank">Macs are indeed slower,</a> but they don't justify Apple's demise or complete inferiority over a few seconds in benchmarks. If it we lost every bench mark by more than 20 seconds, then i'd be mad but 1-10 seconds is not shabby.

26. Posting huge images in a thread upsets most people here.
Correction: posting high resolution images of sexy women gets readers' attention.

27. Microsoft sucks...
28. Microsoft will always suck...
