Ok, so you love your Mac...

...but do you really love it?

Psychology student Bill Rifka -- who is 35 and in a relationship with an iBook -- admits he has "often flirted with many a sweet laptop on eBay and felt true desire." Like all objectum-sexuals, Rifka also attributes a clear gender to his partner: "To me, my Mac is male. I'm living in a homosexual relationship, so to speak."

I have a bitter-sweet relationship with any Mac that's under my whip-hand, although I'm the one who thinks I'm in control. I nurture time, attention and money upon them, curse at them, but never praise them unless in earshot of someone who casts aspersions upon them.

I must also try to get out more often.

My Mac is also a bloke... :D

Edit: Although I'm not particularly pleased with this quote:

"Singles, isolated people, cultural sodomites, many perverts and sex addicts."

I wasn't aware that being single was such a crime.
 
Don't you know it's "LA computadora"?

Although in Spain it's "EL ordenador"...
 
I'm a total domineering husband to mine. I treat it badly and then get irritated when it doesn't work properly. :eek:


Sample conversation from the other day:

Mr. Lau: "Aren't you supposed to wait until the light goes on before you bung it on the floor?"
Lau: Bollocks, it'll be fine. :p

I never thought of mine as having a gender though, and now, even thinking about it, I can't think of it as male or female. Probably a defence mechanism to avoid guilt at my bad behaviour to it.
 
Ooo... I just realised I take my 17" MBP to bed with me. It's so big and so warm...

To watch movies on... pervs. :D

But which movies is the question :p

Over the past couple of weeks: Three Colours Trilogy, Pi, Goodfellas (again), Clockwork Orange... Punch Drunk Love, Garden State, Mulholland Drive (again), random Sopranos, Seinfeld and Six Feet Under episodes.

Nothing smutty at all; it doesn't do much for me. :(

Still, when it gets a little hot, the MBP does start with the heavy breathing. ;)

Oooh some good choices there.

All my Macs have been female - must be like ships I suppose :eek:

Occasionally my g/f has caught me looking at another woman and said "You were looking at her iPod/ Mac weren't you?"

Sadly it's true :eek:
 
Do I love my Mac? Nah, it's just holding my over until I can get one of those awesome Packard Bell's I've heard so much about.:cool:

Seriously, it's not that weird. Ever hear of people who have sex with cars? It's pretty common.

EDIT: w00t 1800th post! Yes, I am bored today...

I really really really wish I did not just google that.

On the subject at hand I love my violin. if anything happened to it i'd be in tears. I can't quite say the same about my macs. Well, maybe my cube.
 
i love two macs. it's never a threesome, because i don't think i can handle working two computers at once. also, i don't want the older, slower one to feel inadequate or self-conscious next to her younger, slimmer and sexier sister. yes, they're sisters. is that wrong?
 
One of my macs was born a pc but switched over when she realised she just couldn't take running windows anymore.
