I just saw this on the up and coming stories on digg and thought it was pretty cool. This kid is going to destroy his PC if he can get enough money to get a mac. Here is the digg story http://digg.com/apple/Convert_This_Guy_From_PC_to_Mac Give him a digg so we can get some more Mac users out there.

Sounds like this kid is back at it:

He used to have this site: http://buymymac.com/
that made the exact same promise. It also had a link to PayPal donations, but he never got any and eventually pulled his site. The story was exactly the same, "Buy my Mac for me and I will demolish my old machine."
That time he wanted a souped-up G5 tower. This one is for a MacBook.
People like that make me sick.

Yeah... really... I'd be happy to SQUASH my PC worth maybe $400 for a Macbook... or for $401... I'd demolish a $800 Mtn bike for a New Macbook...
Or if I must, I'll blow-up a brand new Chevy Suburban for a Brand New Land Rover... any takers????

SO first I digg'd it -- because I hoped it would give me the option to "down digg" -- then I read StretchR's post so I Buried it, then I went in and un-digg'd it.
I am now totally confused. This is how my father must have felt when he first saw television.

It's like one comment said on Digg, If you give me money to buy a new something, I'll gladly smash the old something in return.
Hey, I'm going to make a site and pledge to smash my Mazda if I get enough money for a Ferrari!!
