Macintosh

A family of desktop and laptop computers from Apple, introduced in 1984. It was the first computer to popularize the graphical user interface (GUI). The combination of Mac hardware and software has been exceptionally consistent over the years, providing an ease of use that Mac users have enjoyed. With a Windows emulator such as Virtual PC, Macs can also run Windows and DOS applications.

Mac User: "Don't you just love it when things just work?!"
PC User: "Really?! Is that possible?"
Mac User: "Oh. Sorry, I forgot you use Windows."

Never ask a man what kind of computer he uses:
If he uses a macintosh, he will tell you.
If he usea a PC, why embarrass him?

Macintosh

A branded, overpriced PC for self-absorbed children.

I feel like paying triple the price for half the performance in my new computer. Also, I can barely operate one. Guess I'll get a Macintosh!

Macintosh

A very stable, UNIX based computer that "PC Users" feel they have to hate. Any PC user should thank Apple because without Apple you would 1) Have no mouse. 2) Have no graphical user interface (GUI). 3) No Windows "Vista," because the OS is basically a copy of many of the features that Mac users have had for years.

Seriously guys, DaimlerBenz invented the automobile, Starbucks re-invented coffee as we know it, and Apple invented the personal computer. The first is always the best at everything.

PC User: Did you guys see the new Windows Vista preview?! It's sweet with the gadgets and live preview on the taskbar!!
Mac User: I've had those features for a while man...
PC User: Wow you must be l33t did you download a pirated copy of the developers release!!?!?!
Mac User: Uh no, I use a Macintosh.

macintosh

A computer system used by some as an alternative to PCs. Noted for their stability, Macs are commonly used for graphical design, editing and similar visual-performance tasks. Industry standard in photography and movie industries. Unfortunately, lack of developer support and relative nonexistence of an open-source community keeps the Mac a distant second in the eyes of the computing community.

iMac, iBook, i-anything, Jaguar, MacOS

The computer you purchase when you are serious about your work.

My Windows computer wouldn't crash so much if it was a Macintosh!
