It’s time for another whimsical Tuesday Turnip Google search wherein I type a random phrase and we see what kind of interesting factoids “turn-up.”
Today I typed in “the Top Ten Reasons for,” unearthing, perhaps, the most random batch of turnips yet.
The top ten reasons for moving to Santa Fe
The top ten reasons for innovation failure
The top ten reasons for Using Drums In Your Worship Service
The top ten reasons for fainting
The top ten reasons for study abroad
The top ten reasons for learning Welsh
The top ten reasons for doing upgrades and makeovers to a motorhome or RV
After the jump, you’ll find my personal fav, which brings back memories of our HEATED Mac Vs. PC debate!
Top Ten Reasons for Upgrading to a PC instead of a Mac:
* 1. You enjoy reading computer manuals
* 2. Buying parts ‘not included’ is your idea of being patriotic
* 3. Blaming it on the PC is a great excuse… for anything
* 4. Tech support is your idea of telephone dating
* 5. Your favorite computer game is figuring out where your files are
* 6. You look forward to today’s new virus (or worm, or both)
* 7. You like listening to telephone support hold-button music
* 8. Letting the kids play on the Mac next door frees your time (eliminates after-school kid sitters)
* 9. You think Bill Gates deserves the money
* 10. You have nothing better to do with all the extra time
11. You prefer a machine with the psychic ability to stick, hang & freeze as your deadline approaches.
