Idiot Showcase #1

[job]

Check the guy's (http://www.slip.net/~unony/anti-mac/anti-mac.html) site out.

What a moron. :D :D

Read his list reasons why to hate Macs. I was roflmfao. :D

[Durandal7]

His site seems to about 5 years out of date. Ha, only one OS available for Macs. :rolleyes: Not to mention his poor graphics and page layout.

[job]

Last updated : 1997. :D :D :rolleyes:

He must be hiding in shame. :D

Oh yeah, none of those other anti-Apple links work.

[Durandal7]

His page graphics could be excusable in 1987 but not 1997.

[bbarnhart]

It looks as if he designed his website with a Windows machine.

[job]

He sure seems proud to be part of the "Racists against Macs" thing. :rolleyes:

[Durandal7]

A website designed entirely in MS Paint and MS Note Pad will always look like crap.

[job]

It shows you what an ape with 2 brain cells, Windows, and MS Notepad can create. :D :rolleyes:

[Durandal7]

Of course we're assuming that if he used MS Note Pad that he was smart enough to know basic HTML. Maybe he used one of those stupid online build-a-page sites.

[job]

Wow! He can use MS Paint!

Like I said, a monkey with 2 brain cells....:D

[Mr. Anderson]

it is pretty pathetic, its almost as if he was doing it just to get some attention. all that effort, too, such a shame....:rolleyes:

[mr.w]

That had to be of, if not the worst, arguments favoring MS over Apple I have ever seen. "only rich and snobby people use macs..." -> sounds like he's a little jealous.

exactly, almost as if this is aimed as some people he knows who own macs and give him a hard time for owning a PC. it hasn't been updated in years, so I'm guessing it won't ever. I wouldn't mind finding out why he did it though and what he's doing today.

You give him far too much credit... Two brain cells?? If he had another brain cell, it would be lonely. :D

I shot down just about all his reasons for why he hates Mac's... With only a ns between reading and coming up with a retort... :D

It would be like saying that because the roads are made for cars, that you hate motorcycles (any/all kinds/brands). :rolleyes:

[ShaolinMiddleFinger]

It was probably made by Bill Gates.

He also does the anti gay thing well, too.


Philosophical Reasons to Hate Macs

# The Apple Macintosh logo is a rainbow-striped fruit, suggesting....


Its great how hate breeds more hate.

Taft

[FelixDerKater]

Nearly all of the things listed are now obsolete. Some were never true... That idiot should have taken the page down years ago, or better yet, never put it up at all! :cool: :mad: :cool:

Even though I haven't even seen the rainbow Apple logo on my computer for over a year.

[eyelikeart]

this is pretty bad...

I cannot believe someone actually put something this pathetic on the web...

oh well...what can u do?? :rolleyes:

[AlphaTech]

Find his email address and call him Stimpy :eek: :eek: :eek: :p ;) :D

[mymemory]

I like this site, I like comment # 4 the better:

"Any computer that smiles at you can't be good "

:D

[mmmdreg]

that's so sad it's not even funny...

His name on his site is Squishy Bear Pierre's Anti-Mac Homepage. :rolleyes: :D

Bah. :D

I just thought the "Squishy Bear" name is "odd." :D

this site actually helps our cause

who wants to be associated with someone like that...but i guess he is somewhat of an artiste:p

[job]

Here's another one (http://www.ihateapple.com/). This one is more "professional" looking, but be sure to have a puke bag handy when viewing the forums. :D

The link may or may no work, as the site is consistantly offline.

[MacMaster]

This one is my favorite: Squishy Bearz hate Macs
lol!
:D :rolleyes:

Yeah, and just look at that fine artwork on his/her site. :D :rolleyes:

[Grokgod]

HEY we can use wallpapers, why did he say that...

[AlphaTech]

Maybe his pebble brain was confused by the fact that the Mac OS calls them something else. On the peecee it's wallpaper, on the Mac, it's a screen background... :D

The Mac name for it makes more sense.

I went and looked around, it seems it use to be a mac hate site, but has since changed - for the better.

The real purpose behind this site now is kind of an anti-advocacy site. I find that there are a number of Apple advocacy sites out there that are heavy on the hype and light on the facts. This is just my little poke back at them.

[job]

Yes, he does say that in his Purpose, but I dunno about those "parody" images he had on the site. :rolleyes:

[AlphaTech]

I seem to remember that back in the early days of Apple, when they were working to make the Mac, they wanted a system that even children could use. To make a system for the masses, not the people with CS degree's. Too bad they didn't do better in the early years to keep m$ out of things... If they had, m$ could be in the 5% market share instead of Apple... :D

[job]

Yeah, but too bad it cost a couple grand (even then!) to buy. :D :D

[Mr. Anderson]

If you look around the images on the site, not all of them bash macs, some are bashing m$ and some even praise the mac.

I was just trying to point out that its not a total anti-mac site, that's all.

Things haven't changed that much, try three grand (I believe the printer was extra.) I bought one anyway though. It still works, as a matter of fact...

MacPaint is awesome.

I think I am going to start an anti-everything-post-1984 site. If you can get past the irony, it will have tons of beautiful artwork, all 2-bit.

Does that mean that in this 32 and 64 bit world, you're a 2 bit user??? :eek: :eek: :eek: :D

Do you have white-out all over your screen??? Does your display have 'etch-a-sketch' on the side?? :eek: :D

Nope... well maybe, the display is hidden in the case. ;)

Call me old school, and off topic, but I look back on the old macs (with their 2-bit displays) with nostalgia. Heaps more fun.

[topicolo]

*drool* what I wouldn't give for a screamingly fast powermac 8100/110. They were the ***** in their day

well, I'll give you 'simpler life' but not more fun. I do 3D animation - you couldn't even begin to think of doing that on those machines, let alone movies. Nope, nostalgia is all well and good, but give me the future:D

It was more fun in context really, yet I am of the belief that through challenge comes innovation. I have made $$ for a long time using the mac (including 3D illustration and animation,) but when I look through my work, the old MacPaint stuff is easily among my favorites. It is so easy to be lazy these days, that I think people are getting lazy, creatively. If that is the result, I do not think that technological advances are a boon to us as creators, or as consumers.

Then again, I remember running Studio Pro through my 8500 with 3D accelerator cards for the first time. That was eye opening.

Or the first time I had a harddrive...
Or the first time I saw color on a mac...
Or the first time I cut video...
Or the first time... you get the picture.

It isn't the technology itself really, but how we use it, that I am nostolgic for.

well, i think you're talking more about being creative with limitations. I was much harder to come up with something that looked good with just 2 bits than it is today.

It all comes down to the fact that many people consider themselves artist because they can use powerpoint, and that's the biggest mistake they can make. It still takes talent to make 'good' art - and that won't change anytime soon.

This could probably be its own topic. I was really just making an off-topic comment (initially,) and trying to make it on-topic with the 1984 website. That said, we probably see eye to eye on this issue.

[job]

I got another one!

Go here (http://www.starpoint.net/~schaef/mac_suck.htm) for some more laughs. :D :D

Great stuff :

Real men use DOS....
Hahahahahaha.....:p:p

[Mr. Anderson]

ha, that's a good one - I love his 'conspericy' page - and his lack of a spell checker.

Why do all anti-mac sites have such terrible graphics?

I was going to send you a pm, but you've got that disabled. Go ahead and start a thread - I've created several today already.....

Probably because they only know how to use MS Paint. :rolleyes: :D :D

It does seem to run in the family. :D

They're actually good graphics duke. The problem is that all us rich and snobby mac users are too used to photoshop. ;)

[job]

Apparently these 10 reasons are the best this person could come up with :rolleyes:


10) You can't use 5-1/4" floppy disks.
9) You can't go shopping with your friends for a Sound Blaster board because Macs don't need one.
8) Your 200 MHz 604e Mac does integer calculation equivalent to a 362 MHz Pentium Pro, but you can only brag about 200 MHz.
7) Networking a Mac is not an impressive feat.
6) Macs don't come in black, and we all know black cabinets make computers faster and louder.
5) You don't have to really learn the inner workings of your computer.
4) And the Mac mouse is too slow. We want our cursor to fly wildly off the screen when we twitch our wrist... because hyper cursors make our PCs look faster.
3) You just plug Macs in and they work. Where's the challenge in that?
2) When you add stuff, you just plug them in and they work, too. Again, no challenge.
..
And the number 1 reason...
1) Your clients and teachers know about 2 and 3, so they expect Mac users to deliver results, not excuses!

I love number 2 and 3. :rolleyes: :D

Obviously all of these sites have not been updated in ages, but they are still good for a laugh. :)

Maybe because they are bill gates biatch...

Also notice that most of them are outdated... They are talking about stuff from at least 5-10 years ago. :rolleyes:

Foolish mortals...

Here's the last one for today :

http://planetcnc.com/SgtLny/nomacs.shtml

Ironically although he says he hates Macs, check out any of the movie links he has posted for any of the games. There are all either in the .mpg or .mov format. Moron. :D

Oh yeah, more bad artwork on this site too. :D

[AlphaTech]

That guy is a total moron...

Floppies are dead, cdr and cdrw is the wave of the future (as well as dvdr and dvdrw). :rolleyes:

I gather the mook never heard of the keyboard shortcuts to eject cd's as well as restart and shutdown the computer... Lets not forget that Apple has had the power button on the computers for a long time (very visible from the iMac and G3 blue forward). :rolleyes:

Q: Why are the Mac haters so stupid???

A: micro$oft. :D

True... as well as against the wall... I bet that m$ is the #1 reason why tech's burn out like they do. I am so ****ing glad that we only have about 40 peecee's at my location. We also have over 250 Mac systems. :D That's about 6 Mac's to every 1 peecee... :D

Someone should point out to those mooks that they cannot boot from utility cd's and run them completely. Where on the Mac, you can easily make a bootable cd and it works... on any Mac system too (provided you do it right).

You can even boot for a Zip if you have to. (Back in the day when System Folders were less than 100MB. :D)

Just goes to show you how immiture Winblows users are. That must be the PeeCee's answer to the Mac switch campaign.

Yeah, after reading it again, I guess it does sound a little sarcastic. Oh well.
