We noticed that Mom (83 years old) was having trouble seeing the screen on her aging iMac so we thought maybe a new iMac with the better LCD monitor might be better for her.

I told her I was going to the computer store to look for a new computer for me and stopped to look at the iMac sitting there. I turned my back and when I looked back, there was Mom leaning on her cane, playing with the new computer. Now it's in her bedroom and she's playing with it for real.

AND she doesn't need to squint and wear her reading glasses to try and see the screen. I feel sorry for people who buy those cheapo machines from the office stores - the machines are no good we all agree on that, but even worse is the crappy monitors. Most older people are having eye problems and it's a shame they are inflicting that on themselves.

Oh BTW, they also had a sweet 1Ghz 12" PB that fit nice under my arm heehee!!

Ahhh!! i hate this "racism" towards macs!!! In my school (which has close to 1000 people in it) there are only 2 people who like macs!!!! me and this other girl( :D ) and even the teachers diss them!! one day, i was talking my friend into buying a mac, but my science teacher comes up and insults them with the common myths!!! And one day, i was struggling with a cripled windows monitor(the speakers were skewwed up), my teacher comes up and says (this is a QUOTE!!) "I bet if it was a mac that wouldnt be happening, huh?" and she gave me this wierd look


AAAHAHHHHHH!!! im so tired of it!!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Don't worry about those Mac "haters", I'm sure a lot of them (students AND teachers) are closet Mac users. They just don't wanna admit it because they are PeeCee-pressured. PCs are the so-called "norm" so some people are just afraid to "think different"-they just want to fit in and be accepted like all the other clones. So just be proud of being a Mac lover, and hang with that other girl who also likes Macs; maybe fate brought the two of you together ;)
 
Its funny every time i visit my local computer tech,I ask him what he thinks about macs.He doesnt even answer it.All of the sudden he forgets the english language.Im want to switch but i have a p4 3 gig and going to a g4 maybe be painful but i dont game.The g5 is to big for my small room. :(

Another Update

Awww yea.
After my parents called several places they finally called a local Apple Re-Seller and they're going to buy an eMac tonite!

Every small PC shop was like, "Yea, we'll just build you one" and "yea, Windows XP always has problems" and such. Gee - what a great way to sell a computer!

So tonite I'm going with my dad to pick it up. He's all excited about it!
