Techno Intelligence charging Mac users $200 tax
My friend’s sister needed a new laptop and was pricing out a Sony she saw at Costco for $1,199 and I went to Amazon to check it out. Not only was it double the price but was showing different prices on different computers out of some horrible attempt at computer racism or charging a stupid tax on Mac owners. (more on Macs because Mac people can afford it or are just used to paying more for computers).

Same thing for Assus eee products. What is TechnoIntelligence, anyway?
Yeah, PC’s rock! Only pussies want mac’s. And there are obviously no other options these days. You did your friend’s sister a solid! She totally owes you a good ****ing. You should go take it from her right now, weak little bitch! Jerome, once again, the MAN!
