A gamer can like Macs.
I'm a gamer that only has Macs.
I can accept him not liking Macs, but does he have to insult them and their users? :/

Uhm...macs aren't game-intensive. Period.

They're used for more business applications than anything else and do a better job in graphics and media more than a PC...but given what the comic is ABOUT a Mac will lose in his opinion. Why the heck else would he say something like that like...four years or so ago?

That's pretty much a restate of what Clockz said. I don't think he's incredibly insulting your intelligence because you're using a computer made for dumb people.

No I don't think you're dumb, put your spacebar down, but there are enough Mac cracks out there to notice that you're supposed to laugh with them...not let them get under your skin.

"...computer made for dumb people."
Please explain how a Mac is a computer "for dumb people." Don't use OS9 as an example. Simple doesn't always mean "for dumb people."
I'm sick and tired of the general hatred for Macs that seems to be everywhere I go. I grew up with them, so I'm attached to them. When I hear somebody bashing them, it's like insulting one of my oldest friends...
I would go into my sad and lonely past and explain some things, but I won't.

Still, I'm not reading that comic because I don't think it's funny, regardless of what type of computer the creator uses or bashes.

I really think that you shouldn't take things that a webcomic says about people very seriously. I mean, a webcomic is meant to be enjoyed by some, not all and if you don't agree with it, move on and find one you do like. I see no need to take something personally when it's coming from a webcomic.

However there are some that can be rather offensive. LegoRobotComics comes to mind... I'll read it but I can easily see how someone could get offended by it.

LegoRobotComics... yeah, some would find it offensive.

Same with this, some people dislike Tim's jokes. Deal with it

Just to make it clear: I first saw those comics posted on a message board for the purpose of bashing Macs.

To think that CAD would bring up a small Mac vs. PC debate

And to the knowledge of everyone here, I use a Mac and a PC.

Good god man. It was a joke in which I GOT INTO A FEW SECONDS LATER IF YOU READ! Do you read?

I guess no one's heard of Three Dead Trolls and a Baggie.

It was a joke?
I didn't see anything that indicated it was a joke.
I still don't see anything that indicated it was a joke.
If it was sarcasm, I have a weird way of not noticing it in text form.

I haven't. If I did, would that explain this "joke?" :/

Snifit, by continuing to take this so seriously, you're only perpetuating the up-tight individual stereotype that is commonly associated with Mac Users.

I must have eaten a steel bar, cause I taste irony.

Another round?
Nope, CAD isn't my thing. Perry Bible Fellowship or Fanboys in the other hand...

It's true. OS9 indeed sucks. But, too outdated to be complaining about as most people use the vastly superior OSX now. Their difference in quality is just astounding. Never before or since have I seen a product improvement that major.

I guess I have to now...

When I grew up, everybody I knew was serious most of the time. I met my first real joker when I was about 16. I didn't watch much TV, and I had only one real friend, and he never really joked around.
So, I take people seriously too often. I can't help it. I'm not used to sarcasm and jokes.

I'm going to ignore this thread now. Every time I post in it, somebody argues with me on a matter I didn't want to even go into. (Mainly Clockworkz)
