I got a big surprise yesterday, at my pastor’s office. I was volunteering for some work there at the church and afterwards, I was chatting with the pastor and he said he got a new computer..., he said an “Apple” ...

I said, “What?!” LOL...

It turns out that a member of the church asked him to come along with him and look around for a new computer. The pastor thought he was just going along and helping the member find a computer for himself (and not the pastor...). It turns out, that the last stop (about three stores) was the Apple Store in Tulsa, and he had the pastor look at it and tell him what he thought. He was being nice and said it looked great, so the member bought it, and then gave it to him... hoo boy! :-)

Anyway, I noted that someone said (here on this thread) that they might buy one, except they weren’t gay... LOL...

Well, my pastor is an former Marine, a former police officer, a second-amendment rights supporter (gun rights), and he affirms he’s an “extreme right winger” (per Obama nuts) and he definitely preaches, at the pulpit, against homosexuality — but — he loves his new Mac. :-)

It’s an iMac, the top-of-the-line one and the biggest screen. So, now, I get to help the pastor learn some “tricks of the trade” on the Macintosh and get him familiar with the programs. He’s been using a Windows machines for years and so he’s adjusting to the Mac now.

So..., y’all — get a Mac!!

An interesting observation. It used to be that if I posted that on a Mac thread it would provoke a solid 20-30 comments of righteous indignation, followed by a mini-flame war.

Now it hardly gets any reaction at all. Clearly a sign, imho, that Windows is dying.
