Something that always irked me was that people seem to differentiate between a Macintosh and a PC. Think for a moment... do you see what does not work here?
If I'm not mistaken, PC stands for Personal Computer. Is a Mac not a Personal Computer? It is a computer. It belongs to persons. It must be a Personal Computer then! Still, when someone says 'PC', they are usually referring to something running Windows (or even a Linux based OS) - but not something running OS X. Funny how that works huh? Apple really knows how to market a product properly so that it becomes a class of its own. (like people replacing mp3 player with iPod - though I don't think it's nearly gotten to the prestige of Band-Aid or Kleenex, it's close). And then the price gets jacked up 200%+. *sigh, trendy stuff blows. (and yet I own an iPod, such a hypocrite I am)
There's another ambiguity that I never really figured out either... do you call a laptop a PC? In the strictest sense, it certainly is a personal computer. But saying PC seems to imply desktop PCs. I guess Macs have the same issue huh? When you say Mac, do you mean desktop? or laptop...
Oh yeah! You know when you have a serious brain block, and the word you're looking for just doesn't come up? It's like, you know there's a term for it, but the term is prancing away from you at a pace slightly faster than you can run... In the previous post, I couldn't think of the phrase "Off limits!" and thus I settled with "Out of Bounds" -- which sounds retarded.
That is all, I figured I needed to update and post something, so there you go!
Enjoy life!
