Not Another Apple Wannabe...yawn!!

If you follow my blog, you know how much I hate Apple and Apple products, including Steve Jobs! If you don't, check it out here.

So yesterday, I had an opportunity to meet yet another Apple convert who didn't know anything about his MacBook. He was out in the courtyard, trying to set up his wireless router with max security, and I was sitting in my chair with my Windows OS notebook. After few minutes of trying, he asked me if I knew how to find MAC address on his Mac, so I asked him if he was running Windows or Mac, and he told me his was a MacBook, so he was "obviously" running Mac OS (STRIKE 1!!).

Next, I asked him if he knew how to find MAC address on his PC, at which he said, "MAC address on PC? I thought only Macs have MAC address"!! Oh brother...STRIKE 2!! So then I quickly googled it on my PC and showed the page to him, and he still didn't understand, because the way it was shown on the internet was a bit different than what he had on his Mac. Finally, I had to guide him, step-by-step, so that he could find the MAC (Media Access Control) address.

After he set up his router, we had the following conversation:

Me: So you're a new Mac user, I assume?
Him: No, this is my first notebook but I've used Windows in the past, at my parents' house.
Me: So what made you buy MacBook?
Please say security, efficiency, eco-friendliness, or anything remotely close to this
Him: I really like the way it looks. Even my friends like it. (STRIKE 3!!)

It's a shame, we could've had pretty babies!

Now that's a typical Apple user!! Aaaarrrggghhhhh...I'm starting to think I hate Apple more because of its users than its products!!
