Psychopath Destroys G5 for Dell

I weap for humanity.

Published on January 28, 2004 By messybuu In Personal Computing

There is a child out there who is undoubtedly the stupidest person ever to exist. He received a Power Mac G5 for Christmas, but decided that it would be prudent to rip out the G5 parts and replace them with a Dell. Considering that the cheapest G5 is $1,800, and that Dells can be bought for around $500, I think what he did is absolutely disgusting. Even if you hate Apple, I'm sure you'll agree that what he did was utterly retarded. Hopefully, his parents will beat him when they find out of the atrocities he has comitted. It's that unforgivable.

I applaud the parents for getting him a G5. Since PC software tends to have entertianment available, the parent's wanted a powerful machine that would give the kid something productive. It is also understandable that the kid ripped it out most likely for entertainment purposes. However, I'm with you. I hope he's beaten when his parents find out.

G5 is nice but it will still be 4 years before 64bit computing and true mass programs will be out there. I personally do not care for macintosh or apple. I have watched and played with them since I was a kid and still don't like them. There are still some hardcores out there and you will see apple interweaving with microsoft in the near future as Bill Gates will probably own controlling stock in the next few years. Bill Gates owns a considerable amount of Mac stock right now and that is why you are seeing such intergrations as word for apple and iTunes for windows.

And oh yeah the kid is stupid. I would have sold it and made a super white box ~grins~

The kid is stupid. I would have ripped out the G5 parts and put in Dell parts, they I would have put the G5 parts in the Dell case, thereby completely screwing with the brains of casual users.

P.S. I might also have tried to put the G5 parts in my Blackberry but I don't think it would then have fit so nicely in my shirt pocket.
