I don't like macs because I like to fuck about with computers
I adore linux because it allows me to fuck about. I use windows and it lets me fuck about. When I use a mac I am restricted so much. They look smart but there's nothing that they can really do any better than a PC can do, for less. I don't hate mac users. I hate mac users that keep going on all the time about how much better a mac is. Fucking apple fanboys and girls piss me right off. They are also terrible to repair. The slot loading disc drives get jammed if anyone uses a cd made from recycled materials (they're slightly thicker) if you can't eject the discs you have to strip the entire thing to get it out, and I mean the entire thing. On a PC laptop its one or two screws and slide it out, on a macbook you need to remove the keyboard, screen, top and bottom of the base and strip out nearly all of the components to get at the disc drive. I get at least one student a week with a stuck disc. People say they are great for graphics or great for video but so is my PC and it does so much more.

You sir,
have just echoed my sentiments exactly.

Plus, I really don't like the lies that Apple users tell about it "never crashing".

I got rid of my iMac for the very reason that almost any time I tried to make it do anything remotely outside the norm (web browsing, email, the odd letter etc...), it would bloody give me that crap bomb icon. Mind you that was MacOS 9, so 10 might be better, but by then I'd given it up as a bad job; for, as you say, there's very little fucking about with Macs.

Since that episode, I now use Linux pretty much exclusively on all my machines.
