very unimpressive.  a great machine like the mac.

actually i know mac fans have done the same with 
pc's but i fail to understand why you losers spend 
time trashing either product.  Both  have made 
great contributions to our lives.

What I am seeing ? a good examples of the modern men.  A good studend of
a society full of violence.  A strange culture of Blue Screen of Dead

to the operating system you do, you always need to remenber the
control-alt-delete key combination

From: David Z
To: jpowlus@epix.net

I love these silly little arguments. It's all so transparent. Everybody
knows that the Mac is the superior O/S. Otherwise why would Goofy Gates
have spent so much effort to create a "Mockintosh" interface, and why
would so many consumers be scrambling all over themselves trying to get
it? But the interface alone hasn't provided the user satisfaction that
Wintel users want. They want "easy of use", but theyre not willing to do
what it takes to get it (ie., buy a Mac). If the Mac has a drawback at
all, its that it doesn't have a special button that "crashes" all
Windows in a five mile radius. But then Windows has already beaten them
to that. It's called the "On" button. Don't get me wrong. I'm glad there
are people using the Wintels. It helps me to know that I made the right
choice in buying a Mac.

Maybe the secret is to give in and discard our Macs. Maybe there should
only be one system. Maybe we should stop thinking different and start
thinking the same. Maybe we could carry this thought over to all aspects
of life, and eradicate all free thought. One system. One suit. One
haircut. One choice. We could clear up a lot that way. And the world
would be a paradise.

Most of all, if you have a problem with an O/S (any O/S), the best most
assured answer is: Blame the User. They're only machines after all. You
wouldn't blame your TV for not being on the right channel, would you?.
Then again. Maybe YOU would.

After reading your little "path of Destruction", I have to ask one thing: 
Where would you and your silly little game be if the roles were reversed?  I
don't know why you hate Macs, that ain't of my business.  However, those
Macs, despite being outdated, still have enough uses to justify not
destroying it.  For example, there are plenty of Families not able to afford
a computer who might need one for their son or daughter for school.  Those
families probably would have paid you more money for it than what you paid
for it.

You could have used it to manage your little gun collection, or for any of
your "libraries", too. (Provided, of course, that the outdated machines have
the software to do it...)

Point is this:  Find something else to destroy.  I'm surethere's probably a
car you hate just waiting in a Junkyard to be "Executed."

P.S.  I'm not flaming you.  (Although the temptation was there...)
P.P.S.  Of and for the record, the link to which I found your site,
Ironically, was on a Mac site.  Go figure.  (Now, they're going to get some
flames!!!)


(Fantastic!  I was hoping that a Mac site would
link to this site.  What you say makes perfect
sense...but only one of these macs functioned
at all, and the other was questionable.  They
were intercepted on their way to a junk pile.)

The Web page has a nice design, but I can't help wonder if a simple text

Does your Daddy know that you play with his firearms?

Stuff like this makes me thankful that I live in Canada, where immature
13-year-olds like Jeremy R(edneck) Powlus don't have easy access to guns. I
don't think the main point is that Jeremy destroyed a Mac, but rather that
he has a disturbing and tragic fascination with "blowin' stuff up".

real fun to obliterate things. especially TVs and Computers.  No hard
feelings here. The enternating aspect is great.  Just to see people take
out their hatred and bash a maching with a sledge hammer, set is on fire
or shoot it makes one ponder what is really going on inside the predators
head. Nevertheless, sensless violence is entertaining.

Oh I love your layout.  What app did you use for the halftone borders on

Even more--your site design is week and inconsistent. Your copy writing
amateurish and bland. Your source is simple at best.

And a 20 gauge? Why? 12 gauge with 3 1/4" Magnum slugs. This I could've
understood. Planting a few grenade simulators or somesuch fun item inside
the computer I could also grasp. 

The last time I went out with a friend to kill harmless prairie dogs, I took
an M-16A2, a chopped pump action 12 Gauge, a Winchester 5.56mm with scope
and an M-60 bipod, the Essex .45, and a Thompson Center Contender. We tooled
around in a '46 Willys. Not many living things escaped our paths that day
(we leave the cows and dogs alone, of course). Your tiny collection of mini
munitions leaves me somewhat wanting. Maybe I should call my friend, get
ahold of some 486 minitowers and bring out the heavey weaponry. Then,
perhaps, we could see some real fun posted on the internet.

Five stanzas:

A rare occurence
A well-done anti-Mac page
Compared to the rest

In all honesty
That isn't saying too much
All the others suck

Typos are their bane
And prose as writ by children
For imagined slights

The Mac is no threat
Which makes the anger baseless
And baffling to me

But this page shows us
That even unbased hatred
Can excel sometimes


I've done the anti-Mac page tour, and this is just about the only one that
gets full marks for design, and has a sense of humor.

Thanks for showing the world that not all PC users are dickheads (hey, my

As a long time mac user I can never understand you're dislike of the OS,

same thing to the little piece of junk. 
 
A tip for more destruction fun: shotgun refill gunpower. You can make
great bombs out of this stuff if you have the right kind of fuse. Works
great on old crappy TVs and in you're case, old macs.

No, I'm not rambling, would you be happy if there were no macs (other

I havent had the time to d/l the movs but i'm taking a wild guess here,
if you havent done it yet please I would really like to see a MacClassic
and a 286 tower be thrown the same time off a cliff or tall building and
see which lands first (pc & mac users can interpid the outcome as they
seem fit)

mail me back if you do it.

I like both the presentation and the frothing Macophiles snivelling over the
ventilation of obsolete junk! For next time, perhaps a bit of handloading? A
buddy and I found out that if you put a light load of Red Dot behind 38
hollow base wadcutters they move at a quiet and leisurely pace. Just load
them BACKWARDS in the brass, then fill the agreeably large base (now
nose)cavity with as much Red Dot (or other dense, low volume powder) as will
fit and epoxy a large pistol primer in the cavity to seal it. They explode
agreeably on impact, the light load/low fps combination not detracting from
the experience by masking it with muzzle blast. I haven't tried this with
semiautos due to not wanting an explosion on the feed ramp! It's safe with
revolvers though, and would work a treat in a cavity drilled in a shotgun
slug. I'm stationed overseas so I have no opportunity to try that one for a
while. Keep up the good work.

Hello numb testicles,

You have to be one of the most stupid freaks around to post something
like this. Any mental case out there will think this is the "only" way
to have any fun. We have enough stupidity going on without your help.

Wow, you're right!  I wish I had thought of that before I made that web
page 4 years ago.  Just think of all the violence and injuries and DEATH
that I must be responsible for!  People must have seen the video of us
shooting up those computers and felt compelled to imitate us... but they
couldn't find computers, so they killed PEOPLE!!  As a matter of fact,
I'll bet I'm directly responsible for the terrors of September 11th!
Oh, the horror!!

 ... OR ...

maybe I shouldn't listen to the ridiculous rantings of a 53 year old
high school janitor who probably wouldn't know a "good time" if it bit
him in the ass while he was cleaning puke off the cafeteria floor.  A
53 year old high school janitor who doesn't understand that people
who take out their anger on inanimate objects (rather than on each other)
are the least of our society's problems.

A douchebag who doesn't have a damned clue.  A douchebag like you.


PS--someone should make a target out of you and use rock salt on your
ugly ass!

Whatever, buddy.  NOW who has unhealthy violent tendencies?
If your mom allows you to come out of your room in the basement to come
out and play, come visit me sometime and see how far you get with your
rock salt.  Speaking of your mom, she disagrees with you.  She thinks I
have a very attractive ass.



Dipshit.  Keep your retarded comments to yourself or to your drinking
buddies who are nearly as dumb as you. Have a great time scraping shit 
off the bathroom floor.



By the way, this guy really IS a High School janitor.
