Hilarious review about Mac Mini from a PC User

Read this, it's very funny how narrow minded this reviewer?? is...

The "reviewer" isn't narrow minded - he's a complete retard.
"While the hardware is about roughly equivalent to a Windows PC circa 1995"

Show me a PC from 1995 that had firewire, USB2.0, etc, etc.. and I'd be extremely impressed.
"If you believe Apple’s marketing department, the new Mini is “smaller than most packs of gum” and weighs “less than four quarters”. Well, we received our test unit from Apple yesterday, and let me say right off the bat that those claims are a wee bit of an exaggeration."
Steve Jobs was talking about the iPod shuffle when he said that, not the Mini!

I stopped reading at this point. Don't bother reading yourself - waste of time.

This guy is the dumbest guy ever. Here are 3 reasons why:

#1. If you believe Apple’s marketing department, the new Mini is “smaller than most packs of gum” and weighs “less than four quarters”.

I THINK YOU MEAN iPOD SHUFFLE. Dumbass.

#2. The Expense of a parallel port, ps/2 port, etc.

Ok. That is from like 1996. No one uses Parallel. No one uses PS/2 or any of that other crap. Stop whining.

#3. He puts after his name, MCSE

Yeah great. Any friggin 16 year old can get one in high school in their spare time. It's not a title. That's like me saying "I know HTML." Vince Veneziani, HTML

I seriously wish this guy a horrible life. I love my mac and I'm gonna harassss him. OH! I just saw! He comes from DeVry Institute. Great. It's just a tech certification school around here in Philadelphia. Get a life/job dude. I just wrote him the longest e-mail ever about his intelligence being non-existant. Oh god I'm sick.

If you look at the rest of the site, it seems as though it's all just pure sarcasm. Check out the one about the guy who installed Linux for his grandmother. "Which would she like best: LILO or Grub??" I mean, c'mon...

Too me, it seems more like poking fun at MCSEs than bashing the Mac.

Read it again with this in mind, and you'll see the humor.

Wow. The lack of humor above is amazing.

Calm down. This is what is commonly called satire...

Easy boys & girls... Like gerbick said, it's just a satirical site. I saw the same thing happen the Australian mac page, appletalk.com.au - people were going nuts over the article!

By they way, the "Linux for his grandmother" piece is a crack up.

Man that is funny

Apple includes a program called Mail, which is like a stripped-down email client that can’t execute scripts or open attachments without user intervention.*

Woohoo!

* My Office 2003 CD would not install, despite claims I had heard from Mac fanboys that OS X is compatible with Office.* Heck, the Internet Explorer icon isn’t even out on the taskbar by default, it’s buried in the c:\applications folder.*

I see 3 things wrong with this sentence

1) he should know that a the windows version of office isn't going to work
2) he uses IE *twitch*
3) there is no C:/ drive

*sigh* so happy i am not so ignorant
