HAL 9000

[andrejthegreat]

thats funny :D

but could anyone explain that Y2K thing. I mean, i see no rational explanation for computer malfunctioning with the beggining of new millenium

[CleftCashier]

@andrejthegreat look up "Year 2000 problem" in Wikipedia. That gives a pretty good explanation :)

[KCJOHN08]

Now we can all see the roots of the Mac Attack Ads.

I hate it when commercialism ruins good things. Perhaps especially movie characters when they are as intriguing as HAL.

[jruddock]

You must remember that Windows ME was out at the time, which was a disaster. Turns out it worked in Y2K but at the time I didn't trust it either.

As far as the whole global meltdown thing, yes it was a big problem and we fixed it. We had to, otherwise it would have been a disaster. I don't know that it would have been a global meltdown, that's a bit far.. But I certainly (and wisely) made sure all my account balances were documented on official original paper.

Nonsense! No Computer around me had any problems at the millenium change.

Spreading lies is still today the way apple advertising their products.

[spidermann26]

...and you are the gold standard in computer hardware and software working correctly with a known bug in the wild? Good to know.

[BlackScythertainment]

Oh, how dare of me to questioning the allmighty fruit. Ill kneel down in front of mey mac and send a lords prayer to Steve.

[smichael61]

and yet pcs still suck.

[b4beetles]

@BlackScythertainment I'm pretty sure that He's refering to the Y2K scare. just have fun with it.

[MsLouCrow]

Macs are the best ever!

I have one too

[MegaAl2112]

@MsLouCrow So U cool then)

[Nogli]

This was very cleverly thought out. Not only was it a reminder about how the computer would function fine after the 'millennium bug', but it also took a subtle stab at Windows, with their sub-par (which is an understatement), Windows Millennium Edition.

[morgasumsxD]

apple. aha. good. this is good.

[zoostuff]

I hate mac because of overusing "life" and "culture" for it's profits

[gizmoffm]

its not them forcing the people to start this culture, its the people who like the product so much that they want share....using a mac for a year now, its just great and stressless...dont you think that too - Dave

[pig43001]
