    If that dickhead Job's did put one on the market there would be millions of Mac fanpersons breaking their necks to buy one.

    I thought this was fabulous - saw it on the Onion page a few days ago (I've been a fan for a few years now) and sent it with a wink to all my Mac-junkie friends. I think it's a lovely gentle parody of the Mac world generally - the fan's lines were particularly good: "I'll buy just about anything if it's shiny and made by Mac"... "I like how it automatically says 'sent from my iMac Wheel' when you send an email, that way people know you have one" - which of course is EXACTLY what the iPhone does...

    don't get me wrong, I think Macs are excellent machines, but I also happen to be aware that they don't hold that title exclusively, and I find it frustrating that otherwise intelligent people get so caught up in the marketing and pseudo-cult-ish mindset

    Did you see the shocking amount of typo's on the email also? lol

    I guess apple were in on the joke also.. funny ish though..

    as said before scary that people might actually go to an apple store n try to buy it.

    why is it ALWAYS about Jobs... Wozniak never gets a look in

    if they made a 2 wheel version , it'd be handy for DJ's..hehe

    I like the guy that says something like:
    "I'll buy anything shiny that's made by Apple."

    Classic.

    To be fair, if it weren't such a stupid concept etc i would have believed it because the way they made the video was very realistic! I had to watch it twice to make sure lol.

    I had never heard of this onion network thing before either.

    Just glad I sold my vintage copy of The Whole Earth Catalog on eBay for $2000 so I could afford to buy my ex-wife a new MacBook Pro.

    I'm on my fourth Mac (I used to write UNIX n C code for banks) and just think there is something to be said for a robust OS.

    Having qualified, I thought the Onion spoof was hilarious, not just because Jobs is a Horse's A** and the closest thing America has to Secular Tent Religion. It's because Apple Addicts follow the 13th step of AA. Never take yourself too seriously.

    Somehow I think that Apple will manage to survive the tedious diatribes of the CakeWalk Geeks and their weak kneed whining about things like the FireWire800 problem.

    Mike, tell us you haven't gone over to the dark side (Windows vs BSD UNix combatants). You need to get over the fact that Steve Jobs screwed up your code after you wrote the Netscape Browser.
