Is it sad that I (Linc) am the only person who gets these? I like the description of the users.
You are a sad, strange little man. You have my pity!
My MAC can whoop your PC's arse, thats all that matters. This just reinforces the fact that Dani and I need to get home soon.
You nerdy computer people need to get a life. IT'S JUST A COMPUTER!

1) nobody forced you to read this
2) By this comment are you implying that a wife, five kids, school and a full time job do not quantify a life?
3) Would it make any difference to you if you knew that this simple computer is how I make a living and put food on the table?
Still just a computer? hmmm?
Hey Linc/Dani:
not to take the wind out of your sails, but my computer at this point consists of barely more than an empty case and some sad, bedraggled, tangled wires.
I then stands to reason that your Mac could indeed kick my computers a$$ (if it could find it!) I will unfortunately have to wait for tax returns to come around before I can afford what I want. ahh well.
but you can still move back and that would be fine!
I have a AMD 64 3800 chip and ASUS motherboard I could probably part with if your home machine is still down. Since we have the Mac I no longer need the desktop. E-mail me (linc) at firstname.lastname@mac.com if you want me to send it your way.

We probably have more of a life than you, considering we just use the blog to stay in touch, yet you find the time to surf random blogs and post rude and degrading comments about people whom you do not know.
Just some food for thought.
