what a scam

I realized something the other day, G4 cubes are just a miniature rip off of the ancient giants that used to obbupy entire rooms. Apple is just trying to cash in on a computer that was made before. I think apple should be sued. Who agrees?

Apple isnt cool and you know it. the only good thing is the games that are produced for it, such as the long line of ambrosia games.

In that case, all computers are rip-offs of others, because they are all the same, basic shape. Posted Image

Hmmm...Your username doesn't sound very promising, 21st Century Drug Lords. I've seen some members get into some trouble for using names such as yours.

Oh! Oh!

IP blockings and account deletions! Yippee skippy, the evil!

FoB, why are you here? You're walkin' around in a minefield and even though I don't support either form of computer OS fighting, your karma will drop if you bash macs. And your account'll be deleted, and your IP blocked and you car impounded and your credit cards frozen and your kneecaps split and your liver plucked out and your face bashed in and your eyes gouged out and your dog run over and your refrigerator unplugged so that all the food spoils.

Or something like that.

Yeah. In fact, all computer companies should be shut down immediately! They're siphoning profits from the military contractors who built the amazing, full room 2 Mhz processing computers of the 60's! Posted Image

Honestly, if any company should be spared from that, it should be Apple. Who else made computers that looked like toilet seats? Now _that's_ innovative.

Toilet seat computers? Which model are we discussing here?

All computers look like toilets when viewed from a certain angle...

The old iBooks.

The old iBook looks like a toilet seat at just about any angle.

Now please explain to us how this would be a scam, because the reason you outlined is really pathetic.
