    I am messing with ya. I did like like watching your video though. I just need to be brave enough to work as fast as you do. Plus I need to do those Rabbit ones next time they become available.

    Linux gives me an existential crisis. I start questioning why people would spend hours compiling and tweaking an OS that they don't actually do anything with, and I slide down that slippery slope until I'm left wondering whether life itself is meaningless.

    i was just clarifying why RA was amused. i really don't have a stance when it comes to them. If you like windows, cool, if you like mac, cool.

    i give 0 fucks either way, to be honest.

    I hear this all the time, but why are they? I'm not being snide. It's a real question. I don't know much about macs, never really used em.

    The trick to the Rabbit ones is to make sure that you read the instructions very thoroughly the first time, and work slowly at the start. Then, you start to see patterns and can pick up speed. Not every batch has to be lightning-speed from the moment you start. You can give yourself some time to go from 0-60.

    GF did 42 of them and more than doubled her rejections. She literally (yes, literally) cried about it at various times throughout the day.

    Macs used to actually be different than PCs, back when the processors used PPC architecture.
    Now they're just PCs with a different OS.

    Whats the script that pops up your hourly at the end? It has enough vibrance to it to give me the high to do more cause its like a game.

    I also like what it does to your tab.

    When PCs were using PPC architectures, did that mean they were Macs with a different OS?

    Wait, does that mean the Xbox 360 was a Mac too? My whole life is upsidedown now.

    I have over 20 years experience with Photoshop and it runs a lot smoother and faster on Mac OSX then windows any day. It was well worth learning my shortcuts all over again. But, we can argue all night and nobody will give an inch. I just wanted to say I am definitely not a "Fanboy"

    Software is solid on macs. Lots of programmers use mac too because it's Unix based like Linux without actually being annoying like Linux.

    Only reason I ever considered getting a Mac is that it's the only platform that can natively test on Linux, Windows, and Mac OS without some convoluted, illegal-or-borderline-illegal hack.

    But I couldn't bring myself to do it.

    I remember using Macs extensively in school and hating every minute of it.
