Diagnosis: Mac or PC?

BY Paul Bugeja and Mel Campbell

What computer are you? Take Paul Bugeja and Mel Campbell’s quiz to find out!

You’re running late in the morning. From your bedroom floor you grab: A) A black skivvy B) A black Buffy t-shirt

When your childhood dog died, you: A) Upgraded to a bigger, faster dog that had more tricks B) Cut him open and fiddled about to see if you could get him alive again

When there’s a new virus sweeping the world, you: A) Feel smug because it won’t hurt you B) Panic and download the latest definitions from Norton

What’s your favourite plug-in device? A) Miniature USB fan B) Scroll-button mouse

Your glasses are: A) Bold geometric plastic frames from Dior B) Wire-rimmed aviators that go amber in sunlight

Your computer dies. The tech guy says: A) Why didn’t you take care of this beautiful machine? B) You should have got a generic model and saved your money

When it comes to a serif font, you can’t go past: A) Garamond – elegant, classic B) Comic Sans – that shit just looks funny

Last time you got laid, it was: A) an architect called Sven B) a busty blonde called trina69

You waste all your time A) playing indie comedy skits you found on hip blogs B) playing multi-user role-playing games

Your guiding philosophy is: A) You can’t beat the beautiful B) You can’t beat the original

Mostly As: You’re part of the sexy, funky, cutting edge crew of Mac lovers. You’re more intelligent and creative than the average computer user. Also, you probably like Ikea. Go on, admit it. You can’t go past that Ektorp sofa.

Mostly Bs: You’re a PC person. Demanding. Ruthless. And with the smugness of the mainstream. You like to get the job done quickly and cheaply, and if possible, with some Simpsons references. Also, I think there’s a booger hanging from your nose.
