Hi everyone, today was class day for my senior class. Lots of the seniors put together songs or band gigs to play for the rest of the underclassmen and basically have a good time on the day before graduation. Now the main event each year is the slideshow. This year, a kid put his together on a G3 (I don't know how many MHZ) ibook. It was about 40 minutes long and had 6 songs included. It was made in iMovie. Unfortunatly the thing froze up and lagged like crazy throughout the whole thing.
What I was surprised at was the number of people who recognized it was an Apple. I can't tell you how many kids I heard muttering things like... Well I'm not getting a mac for college now. I also heard lots of responses like, "Yea macs suck!". All my friends who use PC's took this opportunity to tell me how macs suck and blah blah blah. I tried to explain that the computer was at least 4 and maybe more years old and probably had 128mb of ram. I would like to see how a 5 year old PC would run a 40 minute slideshow... Oh yea and the g3 was running panther I think (or at least jaguar).
I know this is more of a rant... But I'm just so ticked at people quickness to judge neye: . Well, let them have their PC boxes, I'm happy to bring my iMac to college. It is very very nice.
