1. Macs are SOOOOO cute! They're just like real computers only much more friendly to consumerism! And no pesky "needing to know how to install new devices and take things apart"! Just throw out your machine when it's out of date and buy a new one! Brilliant!!

And why bother with the confusion of "having different companies' products" to choose from?! You just need to go to the Mac store and they have everything you're allowed to use...I mean everything you need!

Plus they totally match Volkswagens, Elements and Scions!

Think Different. Just Like Everyone Else!

2. I think they did it just to freak you out.

It would be kind of neat if they did a pack in like that, but I don't know if it would also be a good thing. Though I do think that SL is too, shall we say... "open" and not "shiny" enough for APPL to put anywhere near their pretty new Dock.

3. Yeah, my poor two-year-old G5, spending its days searching for gravity waves , left on unless I go away for more than two weeks because heck, I know it'll keep working. Where's the fun in that? Where's the excitement in a computer that never crashes, never gets any virii or spyware or whatever? Getting free software updates and upgrades every week or two. And you're right-- I just plug stuff in, and it works! Terrible. Never paying for security software and Geek Squads. Of course, I did have to drop my three-and-a-half-year-old PowerBook three times before it started to fail and I could justify this nice shiny new one.

And then there's the pain of having bought Apple stock at $10.83. Which allows me to buy all these nice shiny computers and spend my days in SL...

6. Ugh, really? No. LEt's not bring apple into SL. They're already annoying enough, with wares they won't even support.

7. "Where's the fun in that? Where's the excitement in a computer that never crashes, never gets any virii or spyware or whatever?"

Ironic that I don't have those issues. You can tell an Apple user that didn't know what they were doing with a PC when they pull that one up as an excuse.

And Apple's stock going up just means there are a ton of suckers out there. They're making money off of people that can't work real computers!

"And you're right-- I just plug stuff in, and it works!"

yeah...that happens for me, too, only I get to choose who made it and pick based on the best features available instead of "it's the only thing on the rack at the Apple store". Again, it's all in understanding how real computers work!

Keep thinking different! The proceeds go to Mr. Jobs' new yacht!
