Geeks changing to Apple

I have a lot of geek friends that have been switching to Apples since OSX came out. They are very good computers, but it is weird to see the geeks and the hip stereotypes converging like this. Has anyone else observed this biblical effect?
Gen 3:1Now the Apple was more subtil than any beast of the field which the God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every computer of the garden?
Gen 3:6And when the linux geek saw that the G5 good for Unix, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one hip, took of the Apple thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto the other geeks; and they did eat.
Gen 3:7And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they weren't using Open Source; and they compiled aprons something using gpp.
Gen 3:13 And the LinusGod said unto the geek, What is this that thou hast done? And the linux geek said, The Apples are so sexy, they beguiled me, and I did eat.

Don't worry, they will. I'm planning on getting a PowerBook in the next couple of months, and as soon as I do they will instantly release a 1.2GHz G5 based version...
I don't care what people say, Apple consistently revolutionizes the computer-packaging box industry. I will be proud to live inside of that beautiful piece of cardboard when the strains of financing the actual computer force me onto the street.
Dude, that is SO true! In fact, Apple has been dying since 1985, if not earlier. It's been a long, slow, miserable death with nothing to show for it.
Forget all of the things Apple has brought to computing. Forget the Music Store. Forget the G5s. Forget OS X. Forget the XServe. Forget their pro apps. Forget that they're making money while everyone else but Dell is losing money.
Entourage doesn't suck! It provides a distinctive Microsoft experience, right down to crashing for no apparent reason when attempting to send mail, or at other seemingly random times. It really makes me forget that I'm not using Outlook anymore.

So must you! Nobody actually reads the comments either. You should just post and moderate on random to blend in.

There exists a corollary joke to this one, involving titanium apples and a burned crotch, but it is trivial and left as an exercise for the reader.

anybody want to loan me $3000?
I wonder how many lawsuits will be filed by people blown through the walls of their house?

$3000 for a nice new G5
OR
$699 for a SCO-enchanced Linux kernel
THAT is the question;)
a good reason to go out and get a job instead of posting here all day.

Yeah, Apple is always trying to screw the customer, by selling computers, and then coming out with faster ones!
You must be new here. This is Slashdot. Nobody reads the articles.

G5s start shipping? I know this is in error--shipping has been around a LOT longer than the G5s. I think shipping was invented by FedEx in the 80s.

They are done! Toast! Finished!

You need to stop eating aluminum-colored apples, man. It's impairing your judgment.
