Mac Fanboys Dream Mailbox (pic)
tensionnot.com — Any true Macfan should have a mailbox like this.
- 2819 diggs
- digg it
- whatthefu, on 11/21/2007, -45/+458Having that much devotion to any company is disturbing.
- AriaStar, on 11/21/2007, -40/+163No one says the same thing about football fans with mail boxes shaped like helmets. Lighten up. It's all in fun.
- usrlocalbin, on 11/21/2007, -12/+97Thats disturbing also..
- dnields, on 11/21/2007, -8/+34I do
- skeen07, on 11/21/2007, -6/+103Sports fanboyism is the most overlooked thing ever. They get tattoos, they buy big screen TVs to watch the game, they travel around the world to watch their teams play, they name their kids after players, and it's TOTALLY acceptable in western society. No one says a thing, hell, people encourage it! They shrug off these eccentricities as just the guy thing to do, "Oh you guys and your football, heh heh."
- edwartica, on 11/21/2007, -6/+22I have to wonder if they know what idiots they look like. Because they do....they look like total, complete idiots. And they usually are!
- KargeOfTylenol, on 11/22/2007, -14/+1did you just use the word "eccentricities"? I bow down to your vocab skrillz.
- moyness, on 11/22/2007, -14/+9just like Fanboys of ANYTHING really. :)
That includes Apple,Microsoft,Linux,Wii,Xbox, etc. etc. etc.- crushfan, on 11/22/2007, -1/+13Aye aye, Captain Obvious!
- StaticThunder, on 11/21/2007, -2/+13I most certainly do. "Having that much devotion to one team (whose members aren't even necessarily from the state they represent) is disturbing."
- indiekiduk, on 11/21/2007, -7/+54you need a helmet for football? pussies
- chad78, on 11/22/2007, -7/+24football, not soccer, non-American dude
- crushfan, on 11/22/2007, -2/+11Soccer is just a silly slang that British invented and in 21st Century, only Americans use it.
- OptimismPrime, on 11/22/2007, -2/+4I think he means Football is for pussies in general. After all, it's not much more than rugby with protective gear ;)
- KaneElson, on 11/22/2007, -1/+4Yeah Aussie Rules and even NRL is more manly than American crud. We don't need no stinking helmets.
- Tenoq, on 11/23/2007, -0/+1Exakerry. US footballers are soft. ;)
- chad78, on 11/22/2007, -7/+24football, not soccer, non-American dude
- rompom7, on 11/22/2007, -2/+3The plastic is yellowing nicely I see.
- UltraMegaFilms, on 11/22/2007, -8/+3Football is worse, and I hate macs.
- cowboy86, on 11/22/2007, -6/+1Maybe it's because they're a bunch of grown men putting hits on each other. It's related to beer, women(cheerleaders), and guys basically beating the hell out of each other. How in the hell are you going to even try to justify your gay Mac fetish by comparing football to it? One more thing you fanboys try to say to justify your douchebaggery.
- KanchoBukkakeku, on 11/22/2007, -0/+5A real football fan would not use a helmet for a mailbox.
Instead they would have a football player bent over about to hike the ball, with the mailbox opening being his ass.
- beatryder, on 11/21/2007, -24/+15That's about all those things are good for, that or jack stands while I change my oil...
- Subvexer, on 11/21/2007, -30/+55All religions are disturbing.
- aximbigfan, on 11/22/2007, -2/+5Not to mention dangerous. Although, I don't think of football as a religion.
- Tenoq, on 11/23/2007, -0/+2I'm pretty sure it's closer to religion than most other 'fanboyisms'. After all, how many brawls/bashings/deaths are there between Windows and Mac kiddies? :p
- OptimismPrime, on 11/22/2007, -5/+2I wouldn't say so much disturbing as rewarding.
i prayed to steve for there to be legal a way to get an unlocked iPhone here in germany, for the illegal ways would mean bad karma...and my prayers were heared!
- aximbigfan, on 11/22/2007, -2/+5Not to mention dangerous. Although, I don't think of football as a religion.
- knute5, on 11/21/2007, -16/+7Hating on a relatively harmless company or its customers is more disturbing ... at least being a "fanboy/fanboi" is based on a positive impulse.
- lharrod, on 11/22/2007, -0/+6It's a psychological symbiosis. The more something is loved by some people, the more it is hated by others. It's a direct correlation. Example: If the film "Titanic" was only moderately successful, it would have been like any other movie: some would like it, some would dislike it. Instead, Titanic was a box office phenomenon. People LOVED it, and it won many awards. Thus, those who disliked it suddenly began to HATE it, with www.ihatetitanic.com, etc.
- kohan69, on 11/22/2007, -0/+3www.ihatetitanic.com doesn't exist.
u made me check,
jerk
- kohan69, on 11/22/2007, -0/+3www.ihatetitanic.com doesn't exist.

- dotlizard, on 11/22/2007, -7/+36not as disturbing as that chick that carved the apple logo alongside her impressive collection of fresh razor cuts on her arm. that was disturbing. this? not so much.
- BurningApple, on 11/22/2007, -3/+14It was fake.
- nastajus, on 11/22/2007, -0/+5it was agreed to be Photoshoped on her arm. various other logos have been edited into that place.
- BurningApple, on 11/22/2007, -3/+14It was fake.
- Sethd85, on 11/22/2007, -3/+6It's not so much devotion to a company, but devotion to great design. As a company, I could care less about Apple, but I do love their design and implementation of their UI.
- mrmiggidude, on 11/22/2007, -3/+2357 mac haters gave this thumbs up. I'd say mac haters are worse than the fan boys. And i'm someone that doesnt like mac.
- ether1000, on 11/22/2007, -0/+3I don’t see how the comment you are talking about relates to mac hating.
- AriaStar, on 11/21/2007, -40/+163No one says the same thing about football fans with mail boxes shaped like helmets. Lighten up. It's all in fun.
- axisofphilippe, on 11/21/2007, -42/+13me wanty
- edwartica, on 11/21/2007, -11/+8tool.
- UltraMegaFilms, on 11/22/2007, -0/+3nicely phrased.
- ramsinks.com, on 11/22/2007, -2/+3Yeah , tha's tight.
It's sad that all these kids are poor enough to bash a better computer, but look at them cry when we can use these items in cool ways.
Cry to mommy.
- lkv87, on 11/21/2007, -5/+283thats just asking for vandalism!
- ruddy, on 11/21/2007, -11/+112/puts vista in cd tray
- Tenoq, on 11/23/2007, -0/+2And here I was thinking a bunch of kids kicking it over or blowing it up with firecrackers was the worst someone could do.
Genius!
- Tenoq, on 11/23/2007, -0/+2And here I was thinking a bunch of kids kicking it over or blowing it up with firecrackers was the worst someone could do.
- Kyderdog, on 11/22/2007, -12/+7Mac Automatically ejects it.
- xXAustyrXx, on 11/22/2007, -7/+5its just asking to be pooped in.
- BearinG, on 11/23/2007, -0/+1That was the first thing that came to mind...
Imagine a baseball swing while driving by that thing..
- ruddy, on 11/21/2007, -11/+112/puts vista in cd tray
- PerfektXj, on 11/21/2007, -47/+277good use for a mac
- daedius, on 11/21/2007, -17/+18Agreed, one of the hardest decisions as a apple fanboy is what to do with old (yet beautiful) Macs when they are replaced..
- edwartica, on 11/21/2007, -10/+48umm, that's not beautiful. That looks like fisher price designed it.
- lharrod, on 11/22/2007, -2/+8And wouldn't you know it, Jonathan Ive used to work for Fisher Price.
- northernmunky, on 11/22/2007, -11/+8Fisher Price designed the default WindowsXP interface
- Tenoq, on 11/23/2007, -0/+1No, pretty sure that was Vista. XP was Mattel.
- nizzy1115, on 11/22/2007, -1/+6you have seen some of those ugly green plastic mailboxes they like to put up and down new neighborhoods havent you...now THOSE look like Fisher Price designed them.
- LoudMusic, on 11/22/2007, -3/+17Replaced? You mean upgraded? Oh wait, same thing.
- Kyderdog, on 11/22/2007, -13/+3Replace? you mean pass them down.. unlike PCs, Macs are still useful after a year.
- lime148, on 11/22/2007, -6/+3Macs are useful at some point in their lives?
- cynicist, on 11/22/2007, -1/+7Macs ARE PCs, dumbass.
- BearinG, on 11/23/2007, -0/+1It better be at that price..
- edwartica, on 11/21/2007, -10/+48umm, that's not beautiful. That looks like fisher price designed it.
- PolarBearFire, on 11/22/2007, -13/+1Not very practical though UV radiation and heat from the sun is going destroy the plastic case in a few months.
- PolarBearFire, on 11/22/2007, -11/+1Not very practical though UV radiation and heat from the sun is going destroy the plastic case in a few months.
- PolarBearFire, on 11/22/2007, -12/+0Not very practical though UV radiation and heat from the sun is going destroy the plastic case in a few months.

- igob8a, on 11/22/2007, -1/+20You could say that again
- thesandreckoner, on 11/22/2007, -1/+5pardon?
- tehpwnerofn00bs, on 11/22/2007, -2/+10You know, that was a dumb comment the first time you made it. I don't think it got any better after the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th times.
- chaparyan, on 11/22/2007, -1/+6you have to admit, the fifth time was special
- mjhayter, on 11/22/2007, -3/+17you forgot to write "The only" at the start of your post...
- daedius, on 11/21/2007, -17/+18Agreed, one of the hardest decisions as a apple fanboy is what to do with old (yet beautiful) Macs when they are replaced..
- stalefries, on 11/21/2007, -7/+137Hmm....file server, mailbox. Music server, mailbox. Web server, mailbox. DVR, mailbox. Heck. I'll go with the mailbox!
- eighties, on 11/22/2007, -1/+4Perfect for viral (e)-mails.
- aussieNickuss, on 11/22/2007, -1/+6It could have been dead. Probably have gone to the tip if not turned into a mailbox.
- Memnochxx, on 11/22/2007, -0/+2The case went dead?
- markwilcox, on 11/22/2007, -4/+1Mail Server, Mailbox..
- harvinator24, on 11/21/2007, -18/+270A PC fanboy's dream is that mailbox and a baseball bat.
- Firehed, on 11/21/2007, -4/+49PC fanboy?
- luvs2spooge, on 11/22/2007, -11/+5Everyone knows apple isn't in the business of making personal computers.
It's all about the impersonal computers. - lharrod, on 11/22/2007, -2/+9Right. I was thinking the same thing. PC fanboys are like unicorns and leprechauns.
- Sibre, on 11/22/2007, -2/+0Meaning they don't exist?
- crushfan, on 11/22/2007, -1/+10They do. My father is an unicorn.
- Sibre, on 11/22/2007, -2/+0Meaning they don't exist?
- Tenoq, on 11/23/2007, -0/+1If you said IBM-compatible people would think you were being anally-retentive. What's the 'PC' term for a non-Mac then? :p
- luvs2spooge, on 11/22/2007, -11/+5Everyone knows apple isn't in the business of making personal computers.
- Kyderdog, on 11/22/2007, -3/+14You know, If I did that I would fill it full of concrete and watch the ***** break their baseball bats...
- MadTom, on 11/22/2007, -0/+3While going 30 outside a car window.
- lobasuu, on 11/22/2007, -1/+5You know, what with all the Mac-fanboyism screaming into my ears every day, I am starting to consider myself a PC fanboy.
- arctic, on 11/23/2007, -0/+0... and jail afterwards...
- Firehed, on 11/21/2007, -4/+49PC fanboy?
- jonqdoe, on 11/21/2007, -16/+73Mailbox baseball, anybody?
- ehalasey, on 11/21/2007, -2/+12Totally what I was thinking. Thing's so damn big you might as well paint a target on its side.
- idiotwithastick, on 11/22/2007, -2/+9There's already a target on it's side...
- Lyph5, on 11/22/2007, -4/+4Felony conviction, anybody?
- UltraMegaFilms, on 11/22/2007, -4/+4For mailbox baseball or putting that thing up in public?
- Goathead2008, on 11/22/2007, -4/+2YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAW BRAINless America!
- Tenoq, on 11/23/2007, -1/+1Felony is the bad one right? How the ***** is vandalism a felony? Crikey. Slap on the wrist if you're under age. Probably the same for an adult. :P
- UltraMegaFilms, on 11/22/2007, -4/+4For mailbox baseball or putting that thing up in public?
- ehalasey, on 11/21/2007, -2/+12Totally what I was thinking. Thing's so damn big you might as well paint a target on its side.
- keppj0nes, on 11/21/2007, -23/+11Wouldn't mind hitting that with a baseball bat.
- MikeonTV, on 11/21/2007, -10/+4Wheres malcor when you need him?
- xpose, on 11/21/2007, -24/+17People who buy macs obviously love to burn money. So that mailbox fits.
- lharrod, on 11/22/2007, -7/+6That's funny, I always thought buying a POS PC was like burning money.
- JudgeMonkey, on 11/22/2007, -4/+4Yeah, burn the money and, as if a phoenix, have awesome rise from the ashes.
- Tenoq, on 11/23/2007, -0/+1Cash-back on your Acer?
- JudgeMonkey, on 11/22/2007, -4/+4Yeah, burn the money and, as if a phoenix, have awesome rise from the ashes.
- UltraMegaFilms, on 11/22/2007, -1/+3How is a PC a POS and a mac not? As of recently, a Mac is a PC. Had to switch hardware because theirs wasn't cutting it.
- AdmiralKarelia, on 11/22/2007, -2/+1I'm waiting, then, for PC's to change their operating system. Because theirs isn't cutting it.
- MasterLevi, on 11/24/2007, -1/+0I love it when people bash Windows. It's such a ***** OS.
Sorry about the truthiness there Windows folks.- UltraMegaFilms, on 11/27/2007, -0/+195% of computer users can't be wrong ***** smoke.
- MasterLevi, on 11/24/2007, -1/+0I love it when people bash Windows. It's such a ***** OS.

- lharrod, on 11/22/2007, -7/+6That's funny, I always thought buying a POS PC was like burning money.
- billybob217, on 11/21/2007, -3/+16Give it a couple of months and w/out any cleaning or polishing, it will just be a warning to all fanboys to stay away...
- myfanwy, on 11/21/2007, -26/+13......which is about all that Macintoshes are useful for. good work
- jetsetter883, on 11/22/2007, -4/+1agreed.
- yaroze, on 11/21/2007, -9/+24Yikes!
- Brennan, on 11/21/2007, -6/+8Haha nice
- 1800collect, on 11/21/2007, -1/+16For those not in the know "Yikes!" was the code name for those types of macs. http://lowendmac.com/ppc/g4.shtml
- Subvexer, on 11/21/2007, -26/+107Most expensive mailbox on the street, and you can only receive letters from other Mac mailboxes.
- benroy, on 11/22/2007, -3/+5good one. that actually made me laugh.
- crushfan, on 11/22/2007, -7/+2Easily entertained.. >_>
- zongamin, on 11/22/2007, -7/+4Your joke is flawed.
- benroy, on 11/22/2007, -3/+5good one. that actually made me laugh.
- highPhone, on 11/21/2007, -27/+102You PC fanboys are just jealous because your mailboxes crash every time you go to check the mail~
note: that is still a very ugly mailbox.- bonds, on 11/21/2007, -11/+25Talk about a successful advertising campaign. The sad thing is people like you really believe that *****.
- lharrod, on 11/22/2007, -15/+3Because it's true.
- bonds, on 11/22/2007, -3/+7You're right, my pc crashed three times while replying to this zomg no wai!
If you're propaganda and rhetoric make you feel more secure in the fact that you got ripped off, then by all means, keep it up.- bonds, on 11/22/2007, -5/+2Yeah, I meant "your."
- Tenoq, on 11/23/2007, -1/+1No, that was Digg crashing.
- bonds, on 11/22/2007, -3/+7You're right, my pc crashed three times while replying to this zomg no wai!
- jeff303, on 11/22/2007, -2/+8Or he was just making a joke.
- lharrod, on 11/22/2007, -15/+3Because it's true.
- EntropyFan, on 11/22/2007, -7/+23I'm jealous because all of the PC's I have from the same time period are still running in production environments.
I guess Macs do last longer, just don't ask what they are actually used for.- bonds, on 11/22/2007, -5/+15But they're so much easier! When it's time to upgrade, you just throw it away and buy a new one. No difficult decisions regarding which component you want to upgrade first.
- lharrod, on 11/22/2007, -10/+2The only thing that's ever thrown away are PC's. Everyday. Meanwhile, Macs live forever. I have a stock 12-year-old Powerbook running Tiger like a dream. Imagine a 12-year-old PC laptop running Vista. Could never happen, right? Not in crappy PC world.
- crushfan, on 11/22/2007, -3/+3Conformist.
- nakile, on 11/22/2007, -5/+4Or you can sell them to a university student who need a nice computer and get a good $700-800 for it even thought it's a few years old. After that you throw in another $400 and you have a new Mac. That's how you upgrade in the Apple world. The value of a Mac doesn't drop exponentially like a PC does.
- elnerdo, on 11/22/2007, -4/+5What fantasy land do you live in?
- lime148, on 11/22/2007, -3/+4The value of a Mac doesn't drop at all, because that would make it go into the negatives.
- lharrod, on 11/22/2007, -10/+2The only thing that's ever thrown away are PC's. Everyday. Meanwhile, Macs live forever. I have a stock 12-year-old Powerbook running Tiger like a dream. Imagine a 12-year-old PC laptop running Vista. Could never happen, right? Not in crappy PC world.
- Lyph5, on 11/22/2007, -6/+3I upgraded my Pc recently and had to chuck everything and start over. Socket 754? Obsolete. AGP graphics? Obsolete.
You hate so hard on Macs for no reason except your ignorance.- Aoshi7, on 11/22/2007, -2/+2you just described my computer... "agp graphics, socket 754" and it runs vista fine. pc's don't go obsolete as quickly as "mac fanboys/fangirls" make them out to. unless you plan on playing the newest games or high intensity graphics editing software then a five year old pc handles just fine. i guarantee you that a five year old mac can't run the latest photoshop edition without crashing.
- bonds, on 11/22/2007, -2/+5I tried to load Tiger on a five year old Mac, and even after a ram upgrade it ran like old people *****.
- Aoshi7, on 11/22/2007, -2/+2you just described my computer...

- sgglynn, on 11/22/2007, -2/+7PC != Windows... we just don't like paying $2000 for the hardware
- grindmygears, on 11/22/2007, -0/+1Thank you. Maybe one day the advertising people at Apple will clue in too and stop comparing apples to oranges - no pun intended. They just make themselves, and their Mac fanboys, look like uneducated idiots.
- bonds, on 11/21/2007, -11/+25Talk about a successful advertising campaign. The sad thing is people like you really believe that *****.
- benedictkenny, on 11/21/2007, -12/+3Why are some comments green?
- usrlocalbin, on 11/21/2007, -3/+2All the macboys who are green with envy..
- mrjit, on 11/21/2007, -2/+11Lay off the drugs
- surfing, on 11/21/2007, -1/+13because they are recycling other people's comments.
- blazes816, on 11/21/2007, -1/+16One of you friends has dugg it.
- Chirp08, on 11/21/2007, -8/+203***** that, im a mac user and ***** like this is embarrassing to us normal people who couldn't give a ***** about the whole rivalry. I boot windows when I play games, or need to run an app that OSX can't, I don't go on digg and make fun of windows users. That ***** is getting old. Digg needs a fanboy tag (if a certain number of people flag your comment as fanboyish it becomes official), and we should have an option to show/hide fanboy comments.
- Firehed, on 11/21/2007, -1/+42I feel slightly better knowing that I'm not the only Mac user out there that doesn't feel the need to be a dick to PC users.
- iofthestorm, on 11/22/2007, -1/+18Yeah but like anything a fanboy tag would get abused in no time by the masses of fanboys, thus horribly backfiring.
- stou, on 11/22/2007, -2/+4So if you are marked as fanboy you can't fanboy mark other people.
- elnerdo, on 11/22/2007, -1/+6Then nobody would be able to mark anybody.
- EntangledPhysx, on 11/22/2007, -1/+2TWILIGHT ZONE
- stou, on 11/22/2007, -2/+4So if you are marked as fanboy you can't fanboy mark other people.
- lharrod, on 11/22/2007, -6/+4I agree 100%, and yet, when PC guys make ignorant remarks, sometimes I can't help but respond. It sucks, because then I've stooped to their juvenile flame war. It's like Ford vs. Chevy, or McDonald's vs. Burger King, etc. It seems pointless to argue who's better.
- Kyderdog, on 11/22/2007, -0/+3eeuww Mcdonalds's vs Burger King
- TwoKill, on 11/22/2007, -3/+4You really think mac fanboys only exercise fanboyism after PC people make ignorant comments? Seriously, grow up, because I see more mac fanboy flamers on digg then I see relating to almost any other topic anywhere.
- krische, on 11/22/2007, -1/+4Scroll down this page, there are plenty from both sides.
- basic0, on 11/22/2007, -1/+14I'd like to change the words "mac" and "OSX" in your comment to "Linux" and claim it as my own.
Speaking from personal experience, as I used to be a Linux zealot, fanboyism for any platform usually says "I don't have a real job". As soon as you get a job in the real world, you realize that all OSes have their strengths and weaknesses and there isn't one to rule them all. Try finding a Linux version of any commercial game, or finding something comparable to Dragon NaturallySpeaking for Mac (although iListen is getting better), or something as approachable as Applescript/Automator for Windows.
In the real world, you just can't do some things very well with certain platforms. People that sign your paycheque fall in love with certain applications. Older people who had computers thrust upon them for their work after 20 years of doing it some other way don't see any similarities between programs like Excel and OpenOffice Spreadsheet, even if they look nearly identical to you, a computer enthusiast. You have little power to change things like that, and the power you do have is not gained by mocking those whom are different from you.
This concludes chapter 1 of "All I Needed to Know I Learned From Computers".- jon30041, on 11/22/2007, -2/+1All I care about with my OS is that it works with the internet, and can support a word processor and the few games I actually play.
XP is perfectly fine for me. I'm not gonna buy Vista because it's expensive. I'm not gonna buy a mac because it's expensive. I don't NEED the newest *****. That would make me an *****.

- avatarpalin, on 11/22/2007, -4/+1DAMN RIGHT... I own and use a Mac AND my socks don't match!! That's right.. the left is grey, the other is a slightly darker grey i just picked out of the draw..
cause I'm like that baby! - ramsinks.com, on 11/22/2007, -7/+1What is wrong with you? It's a computer case being used in a cool way.
Please, get over yourself.
Ask mommy for a pill.
("fanboy", a word used to describe somebody who is jealous because they lack the funds to buy a real product)- tdous, on 11/22/2007, -2/+2Hehe. Zing.. and funny too!
NO WAIT! That was *****! Sorry, my mistake. Move along.
- tdous, on 11/22/2007, -2/+2Hehe. Zing.. and funny too!
- realclark, on 11/22/2007, -1/+2we are all fanboys to something
- Tenoq, on 11/23/2007, -0/+1Digg.
- Syphon8, on 11/21/2007, -23/+10Only thing it's good for? Digg me down.
- dizastar, on 11/21/2007, -0/+16was this certified by the postmaster general?
- mayonaise15, on 11/21/2007, -1/+2I thought the same thing when I saw it!
- synce, on 11/21/2007, -0/+12Probably stolen less than 24 hours after the pic was taken.
- stalefries, on 11/22/2007, -0/+3If it's been gutted (like it probably was), it's pretty worthless.
- aussieNickuss, on 11/22/2007, -3/+2Nah, it's fully operational.
- stalefries, on 11/22/2007, -0/+3If it's been gutted (like it probably was), it's pretty worthless.
- dubbleenerd, on 11/21/2007, -1/+12if i had to, i would prefer a mac mini mailbox, so only useful mail and none of the junk can fit in the slot.
- OrangeTide, on 11/21/2007, -1/+11my mailbox is an altoids tin.
- radink360, on 11/21/2007, -10/+5Brb, going to get my baseball bat.
- anononon, on 11/21/2007, -10/+116I just mailed him an anthrax-coated letter to prove that Macs can get viruses.
- khyberkitsune, on 11/22/2007, -5/+18except anthrax is a bacteria... D'oh!
- MaskedSlacker, on 11/22/2007, -7/+3You sir, are DUMB. Anthrax isn't a virus.
- staffrocket, on 11/22/2007, -0/+6I just mailed him an STD-coated letter so there!
- jon30041, on 11/22/2007, -1/+7I stuffed a hooker in there. Not sure how... and no one would actually have sex with it...
Consider it a trojan that gets flagged and immediately deleted? I just wanted the guy to get laid!
- TimOgg, on 11/21/2007, -12/+6well it isn't much use as a computer, this is a massive increase in it's usefulness.
- declawedpaw, on 11/21/2007, -3/+7Leaving such an attractive item out in the street is very irresponsible. This mailbox is going to wake up in an alley in excruciating pain, unable to remember what happened.
- Drgn547, on 11/21/2007, -0/+75"Any true Mac fan should have a mailbox like this."
... No, no they shouldn't.- edwartica, on 11/22/2007, -0/+4Gotta love it when the fan boys rip on the other fan boys. :)
- edwartica, on 11/21/2007, -6/+3Hmm, interesting how my home built system from the same era runs fine, and this one has already been scrapped.
- D3koy, on 11/22/2007, -2/+1My system is older, sure I added some RAM and an extra HDD but everything else if the same...
- idiotech, on 11/22/2007, -6/+15I think the term "fanboy" and most people who use it (especially describe themselves) are beyond gay.
- idiotech, on 11/22/2007, -0/+2*(especially to describe themselves)
- crushfan, on 11/22/2007, -2/+2See you in Monday at School, Ms. Gaywood.
- idiotech, on 11/22/2007, -0/+2*(especially to describe themselves)
- krizzle, on 11/22/2007, -11/+3Its a shame mail takes 2 years to get delivered to the macbox, where as its available for the windowsbox right away.
- speleo, on 11/22/2007, -1/+1wha....?
- OptimismPrime, on 11/22/2007, -1/+3what he meant to say was: "Hi i'm a douche - and have a PC."
- Tenoq, on 11/23/2007, -0/+1Well translated. I'm not well-versed in fanboy language.
- speleo, on 11/22/2007, -1/+1wha....?
- dreamersrevenge, on 11/22/2007, -12/+0OMG that's so funny!1!1 l0lz0rs! *ahem..* BURIED because I've seen it SO MANY TIMES.
- LoudMusic, on 11/22/2007, -7/+14Because a Mac six years old isn't good for anything else.
- dreamersrevenge, on 11/22/2007, -8/+2Wrong? I run a first-gen AGP G4 daily as my primary mac. Sure I've got a shiny new macbook, but what's wrong with the older G4s? NOTHING. Sure they won't run leopard, but with 1gb ram they run Tiger fairly well. Sorry if I'm sounding like one of those rabid fanboys... I'm not. I own and use PCs as well.
- crushfan, on 11/22/2007, -3/+4You're a fanboy.

- vonskippy, on 11/22/2007, -8/+2Like that dog puppet used to say: "that looks good..............for me to poop on".
- Lane, on 11/22/2007, -1/+29That's no mailbox, it's to serve as a warning to others who might dare bring a mac to my doorstep. 56 and counting thus far.
- digitally5, on 11/22/2007, -7/+1Can you get EMAIL on that thing too?
- RobotKing, on 11/22/2007, -1/+2No.
- crushfan, on 11/22/2007, -2/+2Did you really think that was clever?
- MaXPL, on 11/22/2007, -9/+5if i saw this i'd run a baseball bat drive by and BAM, bye bye iFanboy mailbox.
- crushfan, on 11/22/2007, -2/+4No, you wouldn't.
- Damon1492, on 11/22/2007, -7/+1pc fanboys dream would be that macbox and a baseball bat :P

- kornykory, on 11/22/2007, -3/+2that idiot won't have that there for long
- jetblackz4, on 11/22/2007, -1/+19Ironically it still gets spam.
- benroy, on 11/22/2007, -8/+3Can people please stop saying "Fanboy"?
It's stupid, not "LOL" or Leetspeak stupid, but it's still stupid. - sendben, on 11/22/2007, -5/+4This thread has to be the dumbest collection of punts I've read on Digg in a while. Congrats to all fanboys PC and Mac alike.
- Kyderdog, on 11/22/2007, -1/+2and you posted too...
- Memnochxx, on 11/22/2007, -1/+1And my sword!

- Phrase, on 11/22/2007, -10/+5Finally a good use for a Mac!!
- GeorgeCostanza, on 11/22/2007, -2/+5I can't wait for the neighborhood kids to stick an M80 in there next July 4.
- aussieNickuss, on 11/22/2007, -0/+2It's in New Zealand.
- mrCdawg, on 11/22/2007, -2/+11so pathetic that here on digg, a picture of a gutted powermac nailed to a wood stick can make top 10.
- jetsetter883, on 11/22/2007, -2/+4digg = mac sheep.
- xkidace, on 11/22/2007, -1/+3I can't get my plain old gray mailbox to stay up for more then 2 weeks without someone knocking it down..I could only imagine what would happen to a mailbox like this.
- detwilzl, on 11/22/2007, -3/+0long live Steve!!!
