Buying a New PC

[Barrister]

Of course not.  Why would anyone bother coding an app for the Apple OS?  Most businesses enjoy making money.

You know, Apples have literally zero bloatware...

Hey neither did my computer.  Bonus:  It was probably about 1/4 the price and doesn't say "Apple" anywhere on it.

I have some stickers that could take care of that problem.

Burger, he'll always have a comback on this subject.  Apple is his freaking religion.

Actually, I kinda already screwed that up myself since I have to have iTunes for the phone.  So every once in a while, when I sync the thing, the horrible logo and such appears on my screen. 

Edit:  And it came with a sticker for some reason.

They're wierd that way.  My iPod, and my Mac Pro, came with goofy white Apple logo stickers.

Why are you surprised?  Apple's recent renaissance is entirely due to marketing.  Giving you a bunch of dumb stickers = viral marketing.

You'll notice that I still have the stickers to be able to give to MBM

I have to disagree it's just about marketing.  OS X is, to use your word, OSSUM.  OS 9 and prior, not so much.

You know, I can't find where I tossed the box right now, but I think the sticker(s) that came with it are the same size ones that people put all over their cars.   The standard Apple sticker, I guess.

Edit:  No really...where's that box...I managed to hang on to the one for my old phone for...more than two years...I lose the iPhone box (with stickers still in it) in a month.  I might need to take you up on the offer Beeb, if only to replenish my stock of Apple stickers for whatever reason.

I've actually spent more time uninstalling bloatware from Princesca's new Acer laptop than I would have building a new desktop PC from components. 

If you go to parts retailer that also builds their own computers you dont get bloatware.  It isnt worth their time to install it.

Because the Yukon lumberjacks would have beaten you up if you had offered the stickers to them.

We don't have a lumber industry here.  It's the miners that would beat me up.
