Re: You know that PC "Video Professor" guy on TV...
Female TV Personality: "I find it hard to believe that there are people out there in this day and age who don't know how to use a computer at all. Is it really true?"
Video Professor (ass): "Yeah, they're called Mac users. Ha ha."
Male TV Personality: "Ha ha, yeah, all three of 'em."
What a dick. I just lost respect for the guy myself.
I can't believe he'd say something like that. Hasn't he learned the cardinal rule about marketing ? You do NOT bad mouth the competition. That is the biggest mistake you can make in marketing.
How many of his customers have both Macs and PCs ? Probably more than a few. The guy more than likely cost himself some business and just dosen't know it.
What a fool.

Re: You know that PC "Video Professor" guy on TV...
Here's what I sent...(didn't even see the show, but I can't stand that guy anyway)
Your CEO's comments on a morning television show about the competency of Apple Macintosh computer users was classless.
I will never "try your product" and I shall do my best to inform my friends, colleagues, and family to do the same.

Re: You know that PC "Video Professor" guy on TV...
This guy is a jerk and especially amuses me on two points-
- His "FREE" CDs are NOT free. Notice there's a "shipping" charge of $6.95 for to get that steaming pile of crap.
- He claims that his product will help you "Learn to work a computer for good". So I geuss that computers have reached their final stage of evolution and will never change. Shame...

If you go and order the system... take a look at the URL
http://www.videoprofessor.com/affiliates/vp/
Would you punch in your credit card number on a server that is NOT secure... sure it has the secure logo on it... that don't make it secure... Any SMART computer user (Mac or PC) should know that a secure server has "https://"
Stop and think on how many hackers seen hit 15 seconds of fame then go to the site and look at a gold mine..
Come everyone lets go and order!!!

Then he'd take all that money he's earned and sue you, or run your Pinto off the road with his Porsche.
You guys get all worked up over nothing, or you really care what these people think.
Big deal, some drip dry hairspray pole smoking local yokel news loser and a bald viagra munching geezer with $$ falling out of his sphincter(tm) made fun of you. Wow. You're not used to people bagging on Macs yet?

I think one walk down the "computing" aisle at a book store, one walk down the "books" aisle at a computer store, and the vast array of video and CD ROM teaching materials, seminars, and other such things focusing solely on overcoming the problems and difficulties with using Windows is proof enough that the Mac OS is, indeed, easier to learn and use.

Re: You know that PC "Video Professor" guy on TV...
The Video Professor guy is on my S list. I keep getting
on my .mac e-mail from him. I keep bouncing them back in hopes of one day being removed (Fat chance.) The commercials are annoying, and I'd like to hit him with a Quadra.

I just delight in using AMD's words against him when he's bashing Macs and Mac users.
I bet it's fun to have your own words used to make you look like a retardo-matic.

Re: You know that PC "Video Professor" guy on TV...

No, we care how Apple is portrayed to the general public. What if someone was watching and was considering buying a Mac, but then these numbskulls made fun of it. They probably won't buy a Mac because they don't want to get made fun of.
Big deal, some drip dry hairspray pole smoking local yokel news loser and a bald viagra munching geezer with $$ falling out of his sphincter(tm) made fun of you. Wow. You're not used to people bagging on Macs yet?
We're not used to people who don't know anything "bagging" them in front of the general public with no facts to back up their claims and no way for us to rebutt them.
BTW it's never been proven or shown a modern Mac OS is easier to use, that's FUD, if you're going to defend Macs, use facts
I've used every Mac OS since 7.5.5, and I've used every Windows OS since 3.1, and the Mac is easier to use. Period. My dad spent two hours hooking his digicam to his (brand new) PC. My Mac did the same thing in ten seconds. And it's three years old.
Macs are easier to use than PCs, when configured and maintained similarly. If you don't know this, you have to use a Mac more.

Re: You know that PC "Video Professor" guy on TV...
I am more disappointed in the male interviewer. What a dick. I expected as much from Mr. Video Guy. Of course he is going to make fun of the people that he has no chance of ever peddling his shlock to.

You should've said shlong instead of shlock. That would've been much funnier.

Re: You know that PC "Video Professor" guy on TV...
Another reason to avoid AT ALL COSTS, network television between the hours of 7am and 8pm. Alternative entertainment suggestions:
1. read newspaper
2. surf internet
3. do questionable things to your cat with a fork

You have to be nice to them. And then they will talk back.
If not, punch them in the face.

There's where my problem lies, I guess.
I always open with the face punch, then I expect them to talk to me...
if they do manage to talk through the gurgling blood, all I can ever make out is gasps of "why?! Oh why me?!" and interesting combinations of various profanities.
