The reason I mentioned it is because some freakin GENIUS already tried to SLAM ME for saying MAC instead of APPLE.
Isn't it amazing how these young adults(using the term loosely) who get a MAC because IT'S COOL, and JOE has one, and because only idiots have PC's, and who have only written a few lines of Javascript know EVERYTHING ?
I bet if I said "HYPERCARD", most of them wouldn't even know what I was talking about.
No, you probably got slammed for saying "MAC." The proper usage is "Mac"... not all upper case. It isn't an acronym. "MAC" is used by trolls. "MAC" is a cosmetic or a Media Access Control in computer terminology. "Mac" is the short nickname for the Macintosh computers line manufactured by Apple Inc. Trolls insist on using MAC, despite being told the proper usage to irritate Mac users... and they will do so repeatedly after being told the difference. That is why you probably got slammed.
I find it funny that they take calling a Mac MAC as an insult. I honestly did it because I didn’t know the difference way back when and still do it because for some reason it sets off their OCD and they can’t talk or see straight until it’s fixed. Just like when referring to a “virus” in the general terms of a virus as most computer users understand it to be. They start twitching and shaking and don’t understand anything when you call it a MAC and use virus in the generic sense.
Do that and they avoid the whole issue that the MAC had a real world virus that they said would be impossible because the user would have to enter his password to catch that virus.
Let me translate that for the macbots: “Mac had a real-world malware infect their machine which they were assured it would be impossible to get infected without using their admin password.”
