    Mac Robot Work
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a humorous narrative about a person who is frustrated with their computer, personified as a partner, that refuses to perform tasks. The individual describes attempts to "snap her out of it" through shaking and even hitting the computer, which ultimately fails. After repeated failures, the decision is made to "kick her out" and consider switching to a Mac for better performance. The conversation then shifts to playful banter about the nature of Macs, with some participants joking about their inability to reproduce and referencing the proliferation of Macs through iPods. Others chime in with nostalgia for older computers and share experiences with different operating systems, emphasizing the reliability of Windows since the release of Windows 2000. The thread maintains a light-hearted tone throughout, mixing tech frustrations with personal anecdotes.

I came home from work, made my own dinner and had a cup of coffee, i sat
for a while then wondered what she is doing, so i went upstairs and there
she was, in the bed room, she was just sat there humming and blinking now
and then, i though oh no not again, in an attempt to snap her out of it i gave
her a shake which had no effect, so i gave her smack, but she just refused
to respond, so i left the room turning out the light, and left her in the dark.
The next day was the same, i had left her a few simple tasks to do, had
she done them? no, she just sat there humming, by this time my patience
was wearing thin, so i picked her up and shook her, then gave her a good
wallop, but it was no use.
The next day i had made up my mind, if she refuses to do any work, i will
kick her out, as usual, there she was just blinking and humming to her self,
so i picked her up and caried her down stairs and threw her out the door.
My problem now is i need a new one, one that will do some work, i thought
about it for some time and have decided to try a MAC.

Well, I had an Apple 2e with 128 kb of RAM (upgraded from 64) back in the old days.

I can honestly say though that since Win2K came out I've never had a PC crash on me to the point it needed to be reloaded.

I have had a couple of girlfriends that needed to be (re)booted out of the house, though. It's always a sad day. :cry:

I have a RAM with a killerbite, and yes winter 2000 did seem to be a turning
point for police crashes.
