Let's have a cage fight

SO. I am actually working on a fabulous and thought-provoking post that will come out on Monday and which you absolutely must weigh in on because I'm sure it's something we've all thought about. (Quite the teaser, huh?)

But first. We had a bit of a computer scare recently where GH's computer freaked the heck out and tried to pull some of that classic Dell/Microsoft Hate where it threatens to erase your entire life and then slap you across the face and then call you fat and THEN pee in your cereal. And please keep in mind that GH is the boy who kept every single scrap of homework he's ever completed, every bill or statement or credit card offer that has ever been mailed to him, every broken bit of every toy or trinket he's ever owned, you get the idea. Now imagine what his computer must have been like. He has 2 or 3 external hard drives and I'm pretty sure that 70% of what's on there must be crap. Crap that he will defend with his very last breath.

During the time of trial where he scrambled around frantically trying to find a way to get his computer back up and running WITHOUT deleting all his files, he was stuck using my laptop. Which made him even more suicidal than he already was. He started making noise about how I need a new computer, and I said that one day I will buy myself a nice Mac.

Which is when he freaked completely out and went off on this rant about how will never own a Mac in life ever and how he hates them with a blind white-hot hate. This was a surprise to me, because I know a lot of people who really love their Mac computers. And GH does things like video editing on his, which seems like kind of a Mac thing to me. But he says that their customer support is horrific and he had a terrible experience and he will never, never, never, etc. own one. This while his own, dead PC is busy drawing nasty pictures of his mother, and while my Satan-filled one is taking 8 minutes to start up Firefox because it is busy looking at porn and sending bomb threats to elementary schools.

So. Let's have it. Mac or PC, people? Name-calling and chair-throwing is just fine as long as it's not directed at me.
