Tragedy struck
My mom got a new job recently, pays a lot more than her old one. So she decided to go ahead and buy a new computer...

It's a Vista PC.

Darwin help her.

That's awful. Try and shelter yourself from it if possible. It may be harmful to your health.

She already considered getting a mac and, while she wants one, she admits it wouldn't do her any good due to her job these days.
It's not harmful to my health, my mac protects me.

To be fair, it actually hasn't had any problems yet... astonishing I know. Pretty neat little machine too, like a third the size of most PCs. Tis HP.

It's starting. Stay away from it. I can see it already having an effect on you.

Nah, (a hypothetical) Satan would not be stupid. He's use OS X or, if he's strapped for cash, Windows XP.

Fair enough
Every laptop i looked at seemed to have Vista and i just thought it was the norm.
Sadly i didnt have the internet and didnt ask about, so at the time I didnt have a Scooby Doo it was so unliked. Oh well sucks to be me.
