Married my Mac

Hey ... I'd like to marry my Mac ... is an iBook considered a "he" or "she"? I hope it's a "she".
 
Married for 3 years now. I haven't regret one single moment.
result: 2 daughters (23 months and 8 months) :D

I love every single second I spend with my wife and 2 babygirls.

(Sometimes though my wife feels that she has to share me with my mac, I don't know where she get's that idea :p )
 
My first post

Hi everyone. I've been a macrumors.com fan for a VERY long time and I finally became a member. This place has the best rumor forums and the BEST people to talk to.

Now on the topic....

I'm a sophomore in college and will be finishing up my year next week. Being in college has it's advantages when looking for a girlfriend/boyfriend. I almost went to ASU which had 50,000 student and 32,000 of them being women. Even though I decided to come to KSC, there are still more women than men so there has to be at least one girl here for me.

MACS RULE!!!!

Ouch, sounds like you might need a distraction. Personally, I've gotten more work done when I wasn't dating anyone, and I could spend more time on my computer. Now being married, owning a house, and having a dog has significant reduced my free time.

Even if it might not be a prefered situation, realize what you have and don't worry about things that will change anyway. Hope you're ok, good luck.:)

yeah...I have a ton of distractions presently....still doesn't help a whole lot at the moment...

we're in the midst of a bad "patch" if u will....going on 2 months since she moved...neither of us are phone people....if u understand that much then u know what I mean...long distance really sucks ass...

things aren't official....but it's just been a really bad morning....:(

I'm probably not taking my trip on friday to visit though....so I don't know what's going to come out of it...

but thanks for concern... ;)
 
My 8 year wedding anniversary is this June. I've known her 10.5 years.

No kids, just a dog.

Hey Arn, you're an MD? My spouse will be an MD officially on the 19th. Where/what do you (practice? resident? specialty)
 
Married...

Question? How many people who are married or have sig. others who do not like computers?

Me, though my wife and her family like email, she has no interest in a new computer to replace her aging PC. I think she would love a new iMac or iBook, but she's like, "Whatever"

We saw a commercial last night for a Compaq that cost about 800 dollars. (Compaq... ha, that's funny)...

Anyway, she said that she couldn't believe we paid 2-3 grand on a desktop a few years ago, and they are only 800 now. Then she said she won't buy another to replace the old compaq we have now.

At least she'll consider a laptop. Next step is to get her to agree that macs are the way to go.

Baby steps... that's the key with women. You have to talk real slow and use little words. They'll catch on eventually.

(I'm kidding of course)
 
Married 1 year on the 26th

We dated for 6 years, lived together for 5 of those 6. I love her deeply and consider myself lucky. She is an exceptional woman and I look foreward to being a Parent with her.:)

That and convincing them it was their idea in the first place. One other trick you might use is to take her into an Apple store. With all the computers out there to play with, its awesome.

I'm going to have a hell of a time convincing my wife to that I 'need' a G5 or what ever it is in 6 months or so. I'm starting to work on her now, so we'll see. She's a PC person, because of work mostly, but loves the mac, so its not going to be hard to sell her on that. Good luck to you mcrain:D

Nope. She's at home.........30 miles away. I have just been realizing recently how seriously I lucked out.
 
Women and Macs

Don't you think that women would prefer a Mac over a PC? I think so. The Mac is so elegant looking, smooth to the touch, damn easy to use, and not intimidating. A PC is ugly with sharp edges and is very intimidating to use sometimes. When you talk about computers with women, what's the first thing they mention? How it looks. Some women don't care about what's under the hood, they just want a computer that isn't ugly. Just my 2 cents.

I don't know if I want to get involved in this one. But you should get jefhatfield to make it one of his threads. I'm sure it would be a great place for many a heated conversation. Especially if some of the women members decide to join the fray.....:D

What do you think jef?
 
Girlfriend

I have been with my current girlfrend for about 1.5 years now. Things are going well so fare. Marage... I dont know about that. I think her mom has been sizing me up as a son-in-law and so has most of her family. I guess I just have to see what happens. Im not lookin to get married any time soon.
