Macs smell better than other computers.
It’s true. Some computers don’t smell at all, some just smell like nondescript electronics. But Macs smell particularly good. A new Mac smells the best, but the smell persists for at least a year. If you are reading this wondering who on earth sniffs their computers, you are probably not a Mac user.

It’s true, I sniff them all the time. This is not a joke. Even a running iMac’s pure electronic smell is good; I think it’s because of the operatng system.
hahaha.. what can i say? *sigH*
:B
I don’t smell my Powerbook G4… am I doing something wrong? :-)
Yeah I’ve got a titanium too - you have to smell it through the built-in speakers.
Woohoo, McB is a switcher. Unfortunately, Raph, the through-the-speaker-grille sniffing technique will not work easilly with Mark’s 12″ PowerBook. The speakers for that one are located at the back of the notebook, and concealed by the screen when it’s open. Try sniffing the keyboard itself Mark.
By the way Mark, have you seen this article? http://apple.slashdot.org/apple/03/03/08/2333238.shtml?tid=180 If you’re taking the PB with you to the desert, you might grab some publicity while you’re at it. :)
If I post on this will I be able to read all the other comments?
I’m so shamed now. They where right here Mr Man.
