Title: "Make Me Switch"
Post by: sjor on 29 April 2006, 13:49

At first I thought this guy was crazy, but it turns out he managed to raise over $1000 US already.
He sent out a plea for loads of plp to donate at least $1US towards a new intel iMac.

Suggestion to the guy:

 ... install Linux on that "little over half a decade old" laptop and shut your face ... oh and fix your website, it's rather buggy.

That guy needs to earn his own damn money. The internet shouldn't be a charity case for guys like him.

Yeah, I posted it from my friend's website.  I wonder who copied who.

BTW, this reminds me...the guy from http://www.helpmegetag5.com completed his quest, and videotaped himself BLOWING UP his G4.  Check out the video!

If he blew up the G5 instead he'd be a legend in my books.

"Thanks for the money, I really enjoyed that".

That's not nice ... why doesn't he blow up something that is worth blowing up ... like a Compaq

I don't particularly like Macs, but they are very powerful ... if I had one I wouldn't blow it up ... a Compaq on the other hand, hell yeah I'm gonna blow it up.

Tex, if everyone cared that much about hardware, we wouldn't have films like this (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071571/) (the original Halicki film, not that Nick Cage piece-of-crap remake).  93 cars in 97 minutes - at a 1974 budget of $1M even.  :D
