The 19 year old was beside himself with excitement. For nearly a month, he'd gone without a laptop. He'd hemmed and hawed and deliberated ad nauseum. What features should he get on his new Windows based laptop?
"Why don't you get a Mac?" Suggested Simone.
"Macs are for chicks because they do everything for you," the 19 year old replied caustically.
Simone handed him her Mac laptop. "Try this," she said.
And so it came to pass that the 19 year old ordered himself a Mac. He joyfully unpacked it and plugged it in. As it "charged" he opened the instruction manual and proceeded to read.
"Oh, for heaven's sake," growled Simone flipping open the laptop. "Just press the on button."
"No! I haven't loaded any of the programs!" Protested the 19 year old, clearly horrified by Simone's cavalier attitude.
"Goodnight," said Simone. "I'm going to bed."
As she headed up to her room, she heard the 19 year old mutter. "It's working already. I can't believe it's working already. It's like a dream come true!"
