Smart person: Yeah my pc does all that too.
iDouche: Yeah but I can like plug anything into it and it will work, like an mp3 player, a digital camera, external hard drive, external superdrive...
Smart person: Yeah me too. What the fuck's a superdrive?
iDouche: It can burn cds AND dvds.
Smart person: Oh you mean a combo drive, yeah my pc has one on it. You had to buy an external?
iDouche: Yeah I bought an external but it's more than a combo drive, it's a superdrive.
Smart person: What does it do other than burn cds and dvds?
iDouche: It plays them too.
Smart person: All burners play the media they can burn.
iDouche: ...huh?
Smart person: Nevermind. So does it do anything else? Any reason you spent so much on it?
iDouche: Yeah, it can't get viruses.
Smart person: Yeah it can.
iDouche: No, macs can't get viruses.
Smart person: Then why did it come with virus scanning software?
iDouche: ...in case one day it can get viruses.
Smart person: A computer can eventually lose its features?
iDouche: I dunno, maybe. It doesn't matter...
