Mac talk

This morning at the breakfast table my older son laughs reading OPUS, the comic strip by Berkeley Breathed. He reads it to me out loud. Opus has just finished writing a million word long manuscript called Computers for Idiots and Penguins (hahahaha!) and is ready to click Save, when Uh, oh.... "blip" the computer apparently crashes. Opus panics, "no no no no..." and finally "AAAAA**GH!!" In the final frame you see ripped out computer cables hanging from of his busted out window, the monitor face-down in the snow below. Bystanders looking up, one of them commenting "...that's why they call it windows."


My son is laughing at this because of the title of the book Opus had written.

I almost hesitated, but then I decided to break the news to my son gently. Windows is a computer operating system that sucks, I mean stinks.

After explaining the difference between a Mac and the PC to him on a 4th grade level, he asked me, Mom, can you play games on the Mac? Are there any good games to play on your new computer laptop?
No, I said. No, it has no games.

Muahahahaha :)
