Powering Up the Mac Owner!

LEGO Writer printer for Mac

Made entirely from LEGO and a felt-tip pen, it's a working printer for the Mac! It's not even a Mindstorms project; it's done all from scratch.

Ah, those silly Mac users. In the time the fellow wasted on this project, a Windows user could have run a virus scan, renewed his Spyware Defender PRO Plus X subscription, edited his registry, and restarted several times!

Horse-head icon

Trojan HorseStranger than the visage of Saint Aquinas on a hoagie bun is a Mac hard drive icon in the clear shape of a horse head. OMG, is this what they mean by a Trojan malware attack?
