Oh, yeah, I can hear the crowd roaring now: Be the Mac! Be the Mac! Be the Mac!
Holly, The Blue Ridge Gal and My friend JP of The Big Red Lunchbox and the photoblog Bleu Chocolate (go check him out!) all left Mac tips for which I’m very grateful. I will be trying them out. Brother Scott told me to call upon my nephews, which is a dang good idea, if I can possibly coordinate my calendar with their calendar. Lots of people told me to just go ahead and load my shotgun.
Captain Smack from the blog “This Is Your Captain Speaking” left a comment concerning my Mac I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up MacRant yesterday.
With his permission, I’m going to share it with you.
"If you're having trouble with The Mac, it is a spiritual problem, not a technical one. The Mac is not a brand, dear, it is a religion. Obviously, you are not believing in The Mac hard enough. To become one with The Macness, say this prayer:
Dear Steve Jobs
Who art in iHeaven
Hallowed be thy apps
I giveth unto you
Thy heart Thy soul
And thy credit card information
In hopes that you will show me
The error of my PC ways
And leadeth me from temptation
The temptation of using a much cheaper
And much more user-friendly product
For you are The One
And The Zero
And all the ones and zeros
The Alpha and Omega
Not to mention that iPhone thingy
Which really kicks ass
Though it is a bit pricey
But I digress
Anyway
Please give your commercially hip guidance
To me, my mouse, and my wallet
And show me
The Way
The Way to copy a simple file from one folder to another, which really shouldn't be that hard, but for some reason is, like, a total freaking pain in the ass, what the hell???
*ahem*
I shall fear not
As I walk through the shadow of the valley
Of bad customer service
And confusing help menus
And toolbars placed in odd locations
For no apparent reason
For I know that at the end
Of this struggle
I will learn how to copy/paste jpegs
And even install some freeware
And then it will all make sense
For I can brag that I have a Mac
I am one of The Chosen Ones
And all those PC users
Can kiss my ass.
Whatever and ever
Amen"
