Rant: Mac

My work's main POS system

I can't read this without giggling. Why oh why would they name it that?

make a new user account, log in as them and see if it works.

If it works, you have a bad preference or setting in your account.

If it doesn't work, then you need to reinstall or update something.

didn't work. i uninstalled reinstalled and verified and it still crashes. WTF?? I think apple is the VW of computers.

Did you check the charcoal cannister ? That's the first place I go to these days...

That's an old retail joke. POS stands for point of sale, but yeah - none of them work well, so they get called "piece of [expletive]."

I'll never own a PC again in my lifetime. Hate them with a passion. I have a Mac that I use at work that has never been a problem. Every now and then I have to use a PC. Something always goes wrong. Yesterday I had to do a quick shutdown because of a serious worm on the PC I was using. No telling when I can use it again.

I remember the originals in the PC lab back in college. Wasn't a fan of the PC lab (or the mainframe lab) - seems like I was dependent on the help all the time for simplest of tasks.

This being the 80s -the comp science people were either foreign / complete introverts, or guys that knew they picked the right major to get a job -so they were slackers.

My friends were the slackers - and they were no use to me in figuring out this new-fangled [expletive] (now if I needed someone to drink with at 9AM or 3AM, they were there for me). Even for word processing, I bypassed PCs for a typewriter.
