So I'm really starting to hate the lot of you. Stop making sense! Your logic and well spoken arguments only serve to throw more fire on the wood of my indicision. It seems everytime I go over my new 'puter budget, I get on hitting the Mac mediocrity wall. I can't get the Mac I want because it'd cost twice or three-times my new computer budget, and yet for the same amount of frogbacks, the PC seems like it'd come with enough bells and whistles to give me an iBuzz in places Mc Forums' posting policy would (likely) frown on my mentioning. Its downright frustrating, but I absolutely
refuse to give the hubster the "told you so" right of passage. Nope.
I still want a Mac.
Unfortunately after limited time evaluating an iMac in the Mac store (or at Best buy), I've come to several conclusions:
- iPhoto ilikes to eat photos
- The case feels hotter than a conventional incandescent lightbulb shoved up a desert cameleon's hiney at high noon.
- Multitasking feels more like a hand of Uno.[/li]
- Safari sucks donkey.
...and yet I
still want one. I want to be that trendy and sophisticated débutante sucking down a mocha at a cyber cafe in Venice's Lista di Spagna on my Mac while nodding slightly to the overweight tourist propping up his (literally) smoking PC on his Hawaiian backfrop of shame that he picked the
wrong computer. I love the way they look. I'm enamoured with the keyboard to the point I want to rub it against my cheek and hide it away in my underwear drawer when nobody is looking for fear another pair of hands might touch it when I'm not. Its everything my soul tells me I need need need. I like the idea of no need for virus protection. I love the fonts. I want simplicity in mail. I crave that upscale better-than-you snarky moment when fortune smiles on me the opportunity in conversation to throw my cyber religion in your face by proudly admitting I use a Mac. Instant status. Instant (imagined) superiority. Secret cloak-wearing society with a smug-grin admittance. Privately I could pity the lot of you for
not using one.
My soul says yes but my mind says no, and yet the reality is I still can't guarantee I won't get a Mac. Its like the first time I drank a beer, puffed a cuban, or smacked a policeman's bare bottom. I knew better, but the experience is often something that can't be told...I might have to experience it for myself. Sadly my test drive today has left me more confused than a baby in a topless bar. Build a smokin' decent PC off NewEgg, have the chimps at ibuypower build me some PC McLovin', or buy the only iMac we can afford - the cheapest (a 21.5" i3).
Winning the lottery would seriously uncomplicate this.
