Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia - A teen who wanted an apple Macintosh computer (mac) for Christmas after seeing one of the ubiquitous apple ads on the apple website, but instead got to inherit his father’s older Windows PC, finally got mad early Saturday morning and threw out the inherited Dell PC out of the window in a bizarre case of life imitating “the internet world”.

The 16 year old boy, Dam Enkhbayar, threw out the computer after it froze while he was downloading video files online. The boy said, “If this had been a Macintosh, I would never have had this problem.”

Fake Steve Jobs has published this funny blog entry about the issue:

See this story about a kid in Mongolia who got pissed after his dad gave him a Dell instead of a Mac and finally, in a fit of rage when the POS Windows machine kept crashing, he threw it out the friggin window. Young man, namaste. We are sending Yuri Yobtvuyomat, our Central Asia director, to find you and bring you a brand new iMac, free of charge. You have given us more and better publicity than we could ever have bought on our own. Peace out.

:lol: Someone really ought to get this guy a free iMac. He's earned it. :lol:

That's a new one. Have you heard of anyone else who is this passionate (read crazy) about a computer they want?

I really don't think it is a mainstream tech news, much less headline news. Its will most likely fill tech tabaloids and Mac journals. And there are weirdos everywhere, killing a PC for a Mac borders over obsession as well as scavenging pro-Mac news.

How may losers are there in this forum anyway! Someone negetive repped me for this thread saying "Post something sensible". This is a piece of news and by the number of replies to this thread, you can judge that it made for an interesting conversation. It is not my fault the guy did an insensible job.
So whoever the person was who negetive repped me, get a life ASAP and before that, get a sense of humour. :mad:

It is not the rep that matters to me, it is the thought behind it.

Well, I think I ought to thank people who give me positive reps. :)

But I don't go around asking for reps, i.e. I do not "care too much for that rep system". :p
