    I have nothing against Macs, but I have to agree with her husband on those Mac/PC commercials. They make Macs seem so mean!

    OMG I thought the Mac/PC thing was some kind of joke.


    I have a Mac, my BF has a PC. We mostly just talk shit and laugh/point/say "toldyaso" when one of our machines acts up.

    I read this today, too, and I couldn't stop my eyes from glazing over at the inanity of it. I mean really. So they evidently have enough money to buy a new computer, and enough spare time to argue about which one to get. The husband needs to check himself and stop being such a douche chill. I could not be Prudence, man. I'd be capping all over the place like so:


    STOP BEING SUCH A DOUCHE CHILL, STFU, AND PICK UP A NEWSPAPER. THAT'LL TURN YOUR HEAD AROUND, ASS HAT.

    my husband is a PC guy and i understand his logical arguments about why PCs are better than MACs, but my the company i work for is MAC OS-based (we design software) and they gave me both the Mac Pro and laptop for free to work at home (i telecommute) so he can't really complain.

    I am in visual and we work on Macs. I don't think I could handle moving to a PC-based company. I've never owned a PC and I don't even think I know how to use one. Although, I could learn.

    @msAnthrope:


    i actually handle UX design for my company, so it works out for me really well because i've always used the mac for design (except back in the day designing websites... mid90s... and realizing how different a mac-designed webpage looked displayed on a pc! omG it was horrible!)


    i don't know if any of you have had to bounce between using a mac and a pc, but it feels pretty schizophrenic!

    It's tempting to laugh at this, but then I remember the time my BF stopped talking to me because I refused to use OpenOffice. Guy takes his software seriously.

    I think this might be the best headline ever.
