When Mac Freaks Congregate

abhikhurana writes "Wired.com has an interesting story about a recent get-together of Mac Freaks in Amsterdam. Apparently to pass the time, they amused themselves by tossing Windows PCs, making Mac porn and holding a look-alike competition to find the best Ellen Feiss look-alike, the teenage star of one of Apple's new 'Switch' commercials. I especially enjoyed Mac porn, but hey, if you are under 18, don't click the above link ;-)."

Take with grain of salt, people

...the Mac guys KNOW there are lots of drugs in Amsterdam :-D

Aack!

You should have also warned about the Ellen Feiss lookalike contest being mostly guys. Scary scary stuff.

Fools....

They could be installing Linux on those Windows PCs.

Not to mention that we shouldn't really be tossing PC's around for the sake of tossing PC's around just because they run windows until everyone has a computer. Lots of people can't afford even cheap 8 year old ebay systems. Assuming those systems being tossed worked.

Looking closely at this picture, it seems like the computers were old 386 era systems. They were probably broken all ready, not really worth the time to fix them. Then again, they probably all broke once Windows 3.11 was installed on them... ;-)

Thanks a lot

Any guesses on whether it was the Ellen Feiss link or the Porn link that got macfreaks.org /.ed?

MacPr0n...

Slashdotted instantly. Damn.

Ellen Feiss

[boo__yeah]

Well I sucked real hard on my iBong, and it was like, puff puff puff puff puff, and like, half of my stash was gone. Bummer.

I had to cram it into my cheek when the police pulled me over. And it wasn't as good.

1. I doubt they where functional. Who wants to go buy a working computer for any price just to throw it in a parking lot?
2. Your comment does nothing but justify these guys actions. The PC zelot crowd would have no problem playing "iMac Toss" (at least ours comes with handles so you have the option). So who cares if the Mac zelots do the same thing?

Keep in mind these guys are not the norm, they are the exception. I'm a Mac "freak" myself, bigtime, but I don't go looking for Ellen look-alikes (uhh BTW Ellen Fiess is 14) or throwing PCs (although I did help some drunken friends film a monitor dropping off a 5th story roof in downtown southie Boston at 3AM, but that's another story...), or making "computer pr0n" by stacking laptops on one another and pluging them together with FireWire cables (although, I do alot of DV editing :-D ). Frankly it's because I don't care about that crap, I dont' have the free time, and, most importantly, I'm not European ;-)

Seriously though, some Mac zelots are weird. I support Apple as a strong company with good goals, but I dont' have a chunk of carpet in a plastic bag labeled "MacWorld Expo 2001 NYC, stage left (STEVE WAS HERE!!!!!!!)", if you catch my drift...

Mac porn sucks.

[zmalone]

Now, I approve of the concept of computer porn, but the example above is just derivative of far better porn sites. I mean, the Unix Sex site(not entirely work safe) has been around far longer, and their selection of photos are far superior. You people call yourselves geeks, and yet you don't even know of good places to find man on pdp11 photos, sheesh.

(my karma is so dead for this one)

Waitaminnit. Unix can't have sex!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

(uhh BTW Ellen Fiess is 14)

She's like bleep-beep-beep-bleep-beep 14. It was a really good 14 years. Her not being 18 it's kind of... a bummer.
