I'm seeing someone about it but he only ever wears jeans and black tops... He's not really helping...
Mine are wearing green shirts directing me to the Student Union.
Got a tip for us?

Hi, Chip.
My name is Kerry. I am a Mac addict. My addiction started back in February when I got my iPod Mini. I fell in love with it and got the urge to get a Power Mac. I finally got my baby in early May right after Tiger was released.
Unfortunately, I have gotten to the point that I spend way too much time on this thing. My wife is going to get a new husband if I am not careful.
wel...i am not an addict.....but i don't see much choice out there...
truth: I LOVE MAC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My mom is friend's with the guy next door who was over earlier tonight. We were all out on the deck and he has a 15" TiBook. My mom made it out like he was this mac guru so I figured I could talk geek with him. I turned out talking circles around him with stuff. I know everything about every Mac line there is... how many ghz, how much ram is stock, how much ram it can hold, etc. I felt geeky
Yep. Life-long Apple user and fan here!
I work, and then it seems my money disappears - towards Apple products!

Hi Kerry!
I guess I now enjoy one aspect of singlehood. I only have to answer to my Depression Era parents values that I was raised with. Guess that is why I got an iMac G5 20" as opposed to a PM recently. Though a Macintel PM seems to be calling my name already in two years time. I think I am beyond saving....
Umm... Addict is an UNDERSTATEMENT. Massive, massive understatement.
I'm always at that store doing something.
Bugging clerks, drooling over the dual 2.5 with the 30" screen, begging for a job, even though I'm too young (I'm gonna go on my birthday to apply for a job, buy apple care, and see if a clerk will sing happy birthday to me.. hehe), or trying to do something way too complicated that it takes 10 minutes to explain to the genius who's trying to help me... I'm always doing junk at that store.
I like the Apple store. I walk in, a clerk will give me guff, another one'll give me a high-five because I got the Tiger PowerBook, then I give him a hard time in return.. I remember this one time, I was sitting at the genius bar, having Aaron (my most favorite genius EVER!) look at my PB, and I had 2 clerks both talking to me, as I sat. I occupied two clerks out of about 9 total and the only genius on a busy weeknight. Hehe.. ruining productivity and causing long lines, it's what I do best. Muahhahaa.
When I work there, I'll have an excuse to be there finally! w00t!
(Also, when I'm VP of finance at Apple HQ, I'll have a reason to hang out in the sweet cafeteria. ROCK!)
Wow.. from the above post, you can really tell I like the Apple store.
I swear, it's like they ONLY HIRE FOXY, FOXY MEN! I swoon each time I go!
....I mean, I always get informative information from the clerks who may or may not be foxy, foxy men. I go for the quality computer and the eye candy that may or may not be in clerk form.
In other "KT is addicted to Apple" news, the HAAUG swap meet is on saturday! ROCK! I'm gonna go and ROCK OUT with other Apple Geeks! this time there MWSF isn't happening concurrently with the swap meet, so LOTS of people will be there. I'M SO EXCITED!

I'll add my $0.02 and freely admit to being an Apple addict. Mind you, I think the word "addict" has negative connotations - I don't think in this case it's a bad thing!

I hear that!
I told my mom, "it's more expensive than drugs, but with a 0% death risk!"
She looked at me like I was the biggest moron on the face of the earth.

If singleness works for that's great. I'm one of those that couldn't tolerate not being married. Lucky that my wife is a Mac Addict also. She pushes me to get a new Mac more than I am willing. Have almost got a new Mac at her insistence, then my reality set into the picture.
Liked my IIsi in '90... warmed to my G3 PB in '95... loved my G4s and OSX... wild about my new G5 and all them cool widgets!
It's more willing than addiction. And if a cure is needed, it's in gigahertz.
