There is another movie coming out on the Mac besides MacHeads, it is “Welcome to Macintosh.” There is a video and some information over at Apple Gazette (oh and subscribe to the Apple Gazette podcast, it is great).
And we have some more Kool-Aid drinkers:
Yup, there’s now a G5 iMac in the house. Holy cow….it’s been 8 years since I touched a mac, there is so much I have no clue how to do.
We bought it since Jen spends so much time out of the office and downstairs, plus we got a good deal on it used online from DSLR. Both of us were kind of excited to use one. Now I just need to figure out how to create L2TP tunnels off it.
There is an article on the Six Degrees of Separation of Guy Kawasaki, but here is the comment that sparked our interest:
Who is Guy Kawasaki? For those of you who don’t know, he’s one of the early Apple employees and responsible for launching the Macintosh in the cult-like, kool-aid drinking way that we all know and love today.
Go check out the link, it is funny that he has to give Windoze users instructions on how to navigate links. LOL.
And the Mac gods apparently saved some lucky girl from PC user that would have been a poor match (see Christ at post 38):
Second, I used to date a woman who owned a Mac. One night I was at her house waiting for her to finish getting ready to go out. I’m a PC person, and at the time had never touched a Mac. Boredom and curiousity got the better of me and I asked if I could see what her Mac was like, to which she agreed. I started simple, by exploring the GUI and opening simple apps like the calculator. Then I tried opening the notepad… CRASH! A dialog box with a bomb on it appears. I call her into the room. She sees it and starts screaming hysterically, as if she was a mother and I had just slapped her retarded child. When she regained semi-coherence, she asked “what have you done?!?” To which I replied, “I just tried to open the notepad!” This started a prolonged and unwinnable argument, because according to her “everyone knows Macs never crash”, therefore I must be a liar who deliberately sabotaged her computer.
I am positive you did something wrong. She did the right thing. Can you put me in touch with her? I think we could be best buds (btw, I am a girl, I am not trying to pick up your old girlfriends).
And this post caught my eye:
Even if FDR is a cult …there are far bigger and more dangerous cults around. Case and point.
I happen to like Apple quite a lot, but not quite to the “worshiping the ground Steve Jobs even thinks of walking on” extent yet. But a novice can dream, can’t he
First, it’s case in point, not case and point. Second, wow, that is a great line… “worshiping the ground Steve Jobs even thinks of walking on” [scribbling this down in the cult handbook]. And yes you can dream
The next post at the same link as above is even better:
This guy doesn’t have his navigation tabs up to date to match the glorious enhancements to the temple of the great white Apple, blessed be the one holy bite which Steve did taketh.
I think that is my new signature line.
Max commented on the Motorola split:
We need Steve Jobs to take over.
From one who would like to be one of the brethren:
I never knew that Apple Safari was available for Windows, until few days back. Despite my unaffordability of a iMac or a Time Capsule, due to its price, I’m a huge fan of Apple and Steve Jobs. So I need not express, how happy I was
.
The look and feel is really gorgeous and simple. Being a compulsive Firefox user, I always had complaints about the Firefox’s rendering. Safari’s rendering is the best I have seen so far. Its smooth and makes any crappy web page looks attractive.
I think you meant to say iMac or Mac mini, but in either way, I hope some fundage comes your way. Note: he is screaming about an error in the EULA or that this was offered to him through Software Update. He was thrilled! Take that you Apple-haters.
Now here’s an inspiring Apple image:



No prayers have been offered in " Give us this day our daily Kool-Aid "
