Crazy Apple Help Desk
The following little tater gem of an item was pinched from that pearl onion of the Mac news world, the Crazy Apple Rumors Site. It made the rounds on the NewtonTalk mailing list yesterday.
Q: I have a eMate 300 that I have completely tricked out. I have a 64 MB PCMCIA card and I’ve overclocked the processor from 25 Mhz to 29 Mhz! Trust me when I say this baby screams! The refresh on scrolling through a document is almost real-time! Surfing the web is… well, it’s still really lousy, but it’s much faster than it was! I’ve looked at some Japanese sites that show you how to make special plastics and…A: Dude!Q: …I’m totally going to make a custom enclosure. Then…A: DUDE!Q: What!? What!?A: Dude… no one cares.Q: Huh? Oh. Oh. OK.
It’s not funny because it’s intelligent satire or even because it’s wonderfully detailed and focused exaggeration. It’s funny because it’s true. It’s funny, quite frankly, because it’s us.
