Slarty Raven v. Writing Desk Member # 261	written Friday, February 2 2007 21:04 Profile Homepage #51 Heh. Well, PCs certainly multiplied into a large and somewhat diverse family, whereas Apple didn't really produce any offspring. Plus, the Apple logo used to be rainbow-colored. So. If we extend the metaphor, Unix could represent polyamory. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00

dareva Infiltrator Member # 3220	written Friday, February 2 2007 22:20 Profile #55 quote: Originally written by Kelandon: I know nothing. Especially about ruining innocence. That was my point, wasn't it? The Apple logo is no longer rainbow-colored? Wha? Well, the last time I used a Mac was an old Performa in 2001, so it makes sense that I wouldn't know that, or process that I'd seen it, considering I've been using this Windows critter for a while now. And running around helping relatives with their computers. "What's spyware? Should I be worried about that? Hey, I can't open my Excel files. Can you play games on this thing?" Ah, well, at least they pay me. Posts: 437 \| Registered: Sunday, July 13 2003 07:00
Drew By Committee Member # 4233	written Saturday, February 3 2007 09:00 Profile #56 quote: Originally written by Spent Salmon: Is this why people that own Apples do own them? And why the rest of us don't? Could it simply be that part of society prefers to have aesthetically pleasing tools, and the rest don't? Maybe some sociology grad student could set up a research project to discern if the functional tools in an Apple home are of one type, and the PC home owns a different type. I think some people do prefer aesthetically appealing tools, and it's not limited just to macs. Sony has pretty much carved out a nitch for its VAIO line of laptops, despite being more expensive yet not substantively different from its homelier competition. The aesthetic component of cell phones, pdas, and MP3 players also seem to be big selling points - how else do you explain the craze over the Motorola Razr, despite the fact that it's widely acknowledged to suck? Finally, consider the automobile. For most people, it functions as a tool used to get you from A to B. Nevertheless, its appearance seems to matter quite a bit.

For some reason, that's hilarious. People leave for lots of reasons: they become too busy in RL to post here, they get bored and move on, they get banned, they get abducted by aliens, and so on. Dikiyoba. I was about to say that. Then again, it always amused TM and Alec when people called me an oldbie after I'd hardly been here a year. :P -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.
