(I helped save b3ta! mictoboy shitting in your cunt since, Mon 12 Feb 2007, 14:21, archived)
# 1) pick up ibook
2)open window
3)using a forward thrusting motion, expel the ibook through the window
4) Buy a pc

If you're lucky, you'll hit another mac user with said ibook

# it'd be cheaper to fix his current computer
than buy a whole new one

# I have a mac or two
don't know that I can help, of course.

(off-topic : it's odd how often people who have macs will talk to me in coffeshops/on trains when they see I have a mac. like its some kind of secret society/ club).

# Freaks and nerds tend to group together.
They see you have a Mac and immediately assume you are a Mac nerd like them. They generally feel alone and unloved in the PC dominated world and will cling to each-other for support.

# i don't talk to mac owners
if i see they have a mac
as generally it means they can afford a laptop, and i can't

# Is he logged in as the wrong user somehow?
...I guess that's a silly question. Sorry.

# Is the mac turned on?

# I think there is no problem with his Mac
...they don't go wrong after-all.

I suspect he is suffering from amnesia.

# You should tell him to have an after lunch nap, like what I've just had.
