What do you think about other Mac Rumour Users?

[Sesshi]

I'm arroganter than you are!!!

*cough*

 

[Mord]

Without them I'd probably not be alive, truly.

That's a great tribute.

Conversely, without them, I'd probably have a life.

 

[Sesshi]

I laughed aloud at that one.

 

[SkyBell]

Come, now. Don't blame your school system, I'm sure it's fine. It's just that your Entertainment system is much, much better. Rots the mind much faster than it can grow.

Okay, I'm not. But I could be!

Even if a complete thought, that certainly isn't a complete sentence. And what was that someone mentioned about arrogance?

 

[mkrishnan]

Also it's redundant to use the brackets and the / and also begin and end.

Now that was presumptuous, wasn't it? Please?

I've seen the rainbow Apple logo up close in front of me many times. Usually while saying "Oh no no no no no... Don't <sosumi> you <sosumi> crash <sosumi> you <sosumi> little <sosumi> ***... ****! You little ******* ***!"

I think that eRondeau is one of the coolest people ever!

*looks down*


Yep. There it is.

 

[BuzWeaver]

Its a great community!

 

[Eric5h5]

Ironic, no?

Actually, one of the more classic cases of projecting that I've seen in quite some time.

I'm a school kid who just got a mac recently.

But I also own an Apple IIc, as well as a Macintosh Classic.

Also, I'm a regular poster.


So what does that make me.

--Eric

Definition of Psychological projection: In psychology, psychological projection (or projection bias) is a defense mechanism in which one attributes ("projects") to others, one’s own unacceptable or unwanted thoughts or/and emotions. Projection reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the unwanted subconscious impulses/desires without letting the ego recognize them. The theory was developed by Sigmund Freud and further refined by his daughter Anna Freud.

Just thought I'd translate to keep things moving; and so us more uninformed members know what the hell you're talking about

Maybe I never have owned anything with the Apple rainbow logo, but I have owned (in order...)

- 5 Commodore PET's (one 4032 bought new in 1980, four bought years later at a school surplus auction)
- 1 300bps Acoustic-Coupled (suction-cupped) modem
- 1 of the first BBS's in my entire area code
- 1 Commodore 64
- 1 Atari 400
- 1 Amiga 500
- 1 Amiga 2000 (w/ original GVP A3001+ 68030 @ 25MHz board!)
- 1 Apple iBook G4
- 6 iPod's

Please note that I have also NEVER owned...

- Any Windows-compatible PC
- Any version of the Windows OS
- Any PC software made by Microsoft (excluding Microsoft Office Mac 2004)

It is not necessary to have owned an Apple //+ or to have in-depth knowledge of System 7 in order to appreciate the amazing user experience that OSX has become. Chances are in twenty years we won't even recognized today's operating systems. Even Steve Jobs and Jef Raskin had a first computer once.

 

[dmw007]

I think dmw007 is the kindest person on MR

Ah, thanks for the kind words dextertangocci!

***blushes***

dmw007, don't hijack someone elses account and post compliments about yourself.

Why? Is that against forum rules?

 

[mad jew]

A person should always be judged on how long ago they started using Macs.

Eh? Is "projecting" not a common term? I assumed anyone vaguely literate would know....

WRONG! You owned AmigaBasic. Anyway, your computing history is somewhat similar to mine...plus I agree with your statement....

Definition of literacy: considered to be the ability to read and write, or the ability to use language–to read, write, listen, and speak.

Ooohh...

 

[Eric5h5]

Eh? Is "literate" not a common term? I assumed anyone vaguely...uh...literate--darn! Now what?

He he. These youngsters don't know how lucky they are
