NOT ENOUGH CURSE WORDS

[sincere]

I repeat: No one is EVER AGAIN allowed to tell me that Macs are in any way, shape, or form better than PCs. Those of you who think they are are just not accomplished in the ways of destroying computers.

I have used this incredibly shiny iMac G5 thing for exactly 5 days now, less than 30 hours in total usage.

I had written a piece for lyric_plot. I was so fucking pleased with it. It was about Justin in jail and it so eerily mirrored the piece where Evie is sent to the institution. It was perfect.

And about twenty seconds before I press the "update journal" button, my incredibly shiny iMac G5 thing locked up so badly that after fifteen minutes of agonizing I had to restart the computer. The Word file recovered with, helpfully, the blank document that was left AFTER I cut-pasted the story into the browser window.

So in conclusion, fuck you, Mr. Jobs, and you too, Mr. Gates.

ARGH.

Macs aren't better than PCs. They're just differently screwed up. And when they screw up, they screw up in ridiculous ways that don't make sense to ANYONE.

Maybe that's something to do with your Internet connection? That's never happened with my Mac...

The funny thing is when people say "Macs don't crash!"

Yes, they crash. And they crash a whole helluva lot harder than PCs. Granted, I've had a PC go ballistic once in my life, and I've only seen the blue screen of death perhaps five times.

Everything is just so permanent with a Mac. It's enough to make me cry.
