I might stop reading it though. Why? You wrote the following two characters to represent microsoft: "M$." Really? Are you honestly that kind of elitist retard douche? Oh dear, a capitalist company is interested in making a profit, because of course, Apple gives all of it's profits to the poor and cures cancer with ipods. Or something. Don't get me wrong, the ipod is a fine product, but i'd say it has much more of an attitude then zune marketing ever could. I've never even seen "zune makes you cool" marketing. Yes, we can all agree that Zune guy is probably mentally incapable, but get off your elitist "my operating system is better than yours" high horse. Mac OS sucks at some things. Windows Sucks at other things. Linux sucks at a lot of things, but at least it's neither of the big ones so whatever. Fucking loyalist. I just read your comic for the first time today.

Its just a joke in a silly comic and really shouldnt be taken that seriously. Maybe it's not right for you. If you do keep reading, I hope you find something to enjoy. If not, please don't feel any obligation to show your disapproval in the comments You seem pretty worked up about this. Its just a joke in a silly comic and really shouldnt be taken that seriously.

I had a horrible experience in an Apple store (it involved getting one of the company's employees fired) and haven't laid hands on an Apple product since, but I've seen all the different I-pods that my friends have. I'm not impressed. The Zune does great with what I use it for (video) and I had one before the crappy commercials came out that were trying to make it cool. I have one of the old "brick" ones that remind me of the Gameboy Pocket (that didn't fit in my pockets). So anyhow, I like the Zune. I'll stick to it. But the marketing did and does and will suck. That I'll admit Apple did right on. The I-pod commercials are classic already. I got a Zune as a graduation present.

My gun actually broke and we tried to have this AV tech guy we knew fix it. If it happened today I would have cracked it open and fixed it myself. Sounds like Laser Tag was a popular DIY project.

As silly as that sounds regarding music players, its true. If there is a such thing as an Apple Lifestyle, I certainly subscribe to it more than the MS lifestyle. Its a personal choice and doesnt effect whether the Zune works for playing MP3's at all. Im sure it does just fine. Its basically a philosophical difference.

We tightened all the gears and used small rubber bands so they stung like hell. We also broke a lamp. pwned. I did that one time with two buddies and ruber band guns.
