Tell your teacher that you heard on the news that all schools and colleges would be replaced by online courses within the next 10 years. ;)

This is the same IBM that left the computer making business last year?

IBM is trying to sell all of the world's PC companies to China. This is their secret plan. Selling their own was just the beginning!

Please don't tell anyone. This is supposed to be a secret.

Why would they sell their computer business to IBM? IBM got out of the desktop pc business a while ago.

Maybe he was trying to do a reverse pump and dump?

Reminds me of a class I had my first semester in college. We had to do a presentation for a prject at the end of the semester. One of my classmates in another group brought his HP laptop up to the front, and couldn't get it to work with the projector. Then my group came up and I took my PB up front. The professor said "A Mac? You couldn't get a real computer?" I just gave my "that was stupid and I'm about to show you up" laugh, plugged my PB into the projector, and hit the "Detect Displays" button. It worked just fine, especially since I was using my phone as a Keynote controller.

Of course, no one cared that my PB worked just fine, but one guy did ask me what I used to chage the slides.

I haven't gotten a mac laptop yet, but the HP one that I had to use for a powerpoint presentation took a lot more to get it to work than when I have borrowed someone else's powerbook.

if steve jobs left apple or died (heaven forbid) then i would still be proud to own an apple and steve jobs would still kick bill gates's ass even if he was dead.

I had a guy from my Uni's A/V support dept come into one of my lectures to fix the projector, he was mumbling that is was probably my fault because I am on my PB and it is supposed to work on PC only ( *BS*), and how macs are overpriced niche pieces of crap... just as he finished saying this the lightbulb in the projector completely burned out leaving us in the dark, the guy looks up and he is surrounded by the glow of 17 mac laptops (mostly ibooks and macbooks). He just gulped and went to get a new projector.
It was way funnier than I can write it.

There is one guy in theat class with a Dell, the guy is too embaressed to use his in the class next to the glowing apples. It really does look like some occult gathering...

My teacher (also the school IT guy) is the same way, but he always says stuff like that jokingly. He calls me a machead because I always do my projects on the topic of Apple and I always make suggestions to him about replacing the current machines with iMacs because of the huge advantage we would have in web design class.

In the refrigerated section at your grocer
Kindly suggest that your teacher disclose the source of his ill gotten data about Apple going dry in five years. (Post his reply here for us all) I question how a business news related story is relevent to a networking course. One would have to assume that his jealousy of your mac-centric life has gotten the best of him. Pity that.

some profs are really funny. it reminds me one time my bio prof stated something like "speed relates to direction while velocity doesn't." :rolleyes:

i kept my hole shut but of course some smart guns corrected him. :)

i kinda felt bad for him cos he's not very anal. also, he always confused the word "organism" with "orgaism." :D

well the class is about networks and stuff (IEEE 802.3, and stuff) and first he said "does anyone know what happened at Wall-street yesterday? In Silicon Valley in Cupertino, California? Apple Computer Corporation has announced they are getting out of the computer business, to focus on multimedia......blah blah blah"

i didn't hear the rest after that, as you can imagine. but i guess we have talked in the class about video and stuff going across networks....

The fact he called it Apple Computer Corporation shows his lack of backround info...it was Apple Computer Inc, now its Apple Inc
