Tales of Apple Woe


As you guys might know, recently Costco has had some old G5s and G4 MacMinis for sale at really good prices. I saw these computers for sale a few weeks ago and decided to pass. What the hell am I going to do with another computer, especially a mac? I'm in business and I'm a gamer, PCs are the way to go for sure.

But I don't know if it's the urge to try something new, or from talking to all you mac freaks on the tiki forums, or from getting pounded by Leo Laporte and his buddies on their 10 zillion podcasts I listen to, but the other day I decided to go back to Costco and get one. Yes, a diehard windows guy decided to take the leap and buy a Mac mini. The thing came preloaded with a bunch of stuff, a keyboard, and a mouse, why the hell not give it a try and see what all the fuss is about.

So I go back to Costco. They're sold out. I go to another Costco. Sold out. I go to another one. Sold the fuck out. Damnit, how is a guy supposed to buy a mac mini for a good price, even after he finally decides to bite the bullet and just do it?! I swear the cards are stacked against me. Ahhhh well, I tried.
