Macintosh Jokes  

Yes, in the 80's Macs were generally better than PCs.  Just like 8-track tapes were originally better than cassettes, and horses could go faster than the first automobiles, and writing on animal skin was better than using paper.  Need I go on, or is the point sufficiently clear?

Tera Capital fund manager Duncan Stewart: "The problem is Apple was priced like it was a tech company and it isn't... It essentially makes relatively high-priced, semiconducter-driven washing machines... Any company whose quarterly earnings are determined by what colour of fruit their next PC comes out in is not a tech company. It's in the fashion business." - Globe & Mail, September 30, 2000: "Investors pummel Apple stock"

And for nostalgia, the Mac hater's theme song (1995)

(to the tune of 'Jingle Bells')

Jingle bells, Macs are hell, failures every day!
Oh what fun it is to type on monitors of gray!
Jingle bells, Macs are hell, failures every day!
Oh what fun it is to make fun of them every way!

Dashing through the net, at 300 baud
Over the waves we go, desktop is a mess! (ha ha ha)
There's the failure ding, we must be in school
Oh my gosh, this 10 meg drive sure makes me want to drool! (Refrain)
