olegus Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I got this question when people see my dual screen setup. The best (and the closest) so far was "Is this a new Linux version of some kind?" I just answer - "no, it is OS X". Most of the people than just stop asking further, but still look with interest on my black Antec box with lots of Blue led fans....

dlambert Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 The computer specialist at my school looked over my shoulder and said, "that's interesting" and walked away. Then a girl walked over and said "what kind of computer is that?" "it's a dell" "but why does it have the i pod thing?" "what?" and she walked away too.

TheAppleFreak Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I just tell people I get to have my computer like this and they don't because I'm better than they are. I lol'd at that. Most of the time, people just ask and I say that I hacked OS X onto it. They usually don't go furrther than there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TH3L4UGH1NGM4N Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 So I had invited some co workers over to my place when they happened to ask if they could check their email on my computer and they came out with some astonishing responses to my Personal Computer and my laptop for some odd reason, they were astounded by them... It just looks like any other regular computer if you ask me.... It's just a laptop... Err it's a dell monitor I told them nothing fascinating about Dells... They asked me "What is that thing lying on the ground" and I replied "Beats me it just showed up I never really noticed it Final question my friend Joanna asked me Is this a Mac?!?" I replied, "Uhm... What's a Mac?" The confusion in the room was priceless 8) Thank you OSX 86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unvaluablespace Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 "Well, I'm not supposed to say, or Apple may fire me, but I guess just ONE person would be OK... This is the new Macbook (insert silly Steve Jobs-ish name here). It's a prototype Steve is supposed to unveil at a yet to be announced Mac event slated for (typical apple event) 2011." And, if im feeling like a TOTAL jerk, go on about it being a touchscreen mac in prototype phase, and go through the trouble of showing how the graphics and touch screen dont work properly. "Well, it IS in prototype phase..." I'm running a Lenovo S10-3t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willpower101 Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 These are all great lol! Mine happened while in a computer science lab about 4 years ago. I asked one of th emost knowledgeable grad students there to check why my code wasn't compiling and he grabbed my Dell m1210, starting messing around in vi, still thinking it's a Mac. All of a sudden he stopped in his tracks, stepped back from it and went, "what?!" as he gestured to the whole computer. He flipped it upside down to check he model, then flipped it upright looked at me and said "what is this?" I told him how osx could run on x86 CPUs now with a few hacks. He we was like, "huhm. Cool!" and went back to what he was doing on it. So what's the best 12-13 in laptop to put snow on now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
