RUSH: Shawn in Houston, you\u2019re next. Welcome to the EIB Network, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thanks for takin\u2019 my call.<\/p>\n
RUSH: You bet, sir!<\/p>\n
CALLER: It\u2019s an honor to speak to you. I wish I had a profound political question to ask you, but since I\u2019m a student I can answer most of those on my own. (chuckles) My question for you is I\u2019ve been usin\u2019 PCs and recently had one that broke and we\u2019re lookin\u2019 at maybe going to a Macintosh, and I was wonderin\u2019 is it hard to make the transition to the operating system?<\/p>\n
RUSH: No.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Is it easy to use?<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yes. It is easy to use. The Windows operating system is a copy of the Mac, so there are some differences. I run… Macintosh would allow you to run Windows, by the way, with a program called Parallels; and you can set up a desktop on a Macintosh. You can have multiple desktops and one of those desktops you can switch to any time you want and you can run Windows, if you want to.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, wow.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I do, because I have a security program. The best security program I could find is actually a Windows program. It doesn\u2019t require any input. It\u2019s actually a display program, so I run Windows on one of my desktops. I know a lot of people have gone from PC to Mac with no trouble whatsoever.<\/p>\n
CALLER: That\u2019s good. I don\u2019t know that I would necessarily want to use Windows. I\u2019m not really happy with the latest versions of Windows, so that\u2019s another reason why we were thinking of switching.<\/p>\n
RUSH: There aren\u2019t any “latest versions!”<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, Windows 7 is —<\/p>\n
RUSH: There aren\u2019t any new versions! That\u2019s the whole point! Everything with Windows is “next year” or “next 18 months.”<\/p>\n
CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Look… You know, I\u2019m an Apple evangel. What kind of Macintosh are you looking at getting? Have you researched it?<\/p>\n
CALLER: No, not a whole lot of research. I was looking at the MacBook Pro, I believe it is.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Oh, yeah. Yeah. I\u2019ll send you one. I have a prize closet here of Mac stuff.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh wow. Thank you so much.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Have you ever used…? I\u2019m not going to give you one, don\u2019t misunderstand. Have you ever used an iPad?<\/p>\n
CALLER: No, I haven\u2019t. My niece has an iPad and I\u2019ve picked at it.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, go play with it now and then and you\u2019ll get a head start on the new Mac OS X Lion. They\u2019ve incorporated a lot of what\u2019s in the iOS into the latest desktop and laptop systems. Yeah, it\u2019s cool. It\u2019s gonna blow you away. The things you can do with the track pad on this thing? There\u2019s no mouse any more.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Wow.<\/p>\n
RUSH: It\u2019s all done on a track pad and you\u2019ll love it. You\u2019ll absolutely love it. You hang on here and Snerdley will get the address we need to send it to you. We\u2019ll FedEx it out to you and you\u2019ll have it tomorrow.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Thank you so very much.<\/p>\n
RUSH: What? (interruption) What do you mean “scammed”? (interruption) I don\u2019t care if I was scammed! I love giving the stuff away. I couldn\u2019t care less if I was scammed! Did you just scam us here, Shawn?<\/p>\n
CALLER: (silence)<\/p>\n
RUSH: (interruption) What did he say? Shawn, are you there?<\/p>\n
CALLER: No! It\u2019s not a scam. I had a … a…<\/p>\n
RUSH: You didn\u2019t call here to try to trick me into giving you a computer?<\/p>\n
CALLER: No, sir! I had an HP laptop that broke on me here a little while back and my wife and I were talking about upgrading to a Macintosh, that\u2019s all. I just wanted to know about this software issue.<\/p>\n
RUSH: All right. Snerdley thinks you\u2019re taking advantage of my generosity. He\u2019s very protective of me.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Absolutely not. I would never do that. I wouldn\u2019t dream of it.<\/p>\n
RUSH: All right. Well, I don\u2019t care. I don\u2019t care if you are. This is Apple. I love sharing this stuff. I told you: I\u2019m an evangel for this stuff! This way, this won\u2019t cost you anything if you don\u2019t like it. But I guarantee you you\u2019re going to like it.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, thank you.<\/p>\n
RUSH: What size do you want, 15 or 17?<\/p>\n
CALLER: (laughs) It doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yes, it does!<\/p>\n
CALLER: I\u2019d be happy to get either one.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, then, we\u2019ll just throw a dart in there and wherever it lands —<\/p>\n
CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n
RUSH: — we\u2019ll give you that one. I got a wall full of them.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Okay. Well, thank you.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I got a wall full of them. So hang on. Snerdley will get your address and we\u2019ll FedEx it out. You\u2019ll have it tomorrow.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n
RUSH: You\u2019re more than welcome. (interruption) See, he sounded really excited! What do you mean “scammed”? (laughing)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
