    Ok so I did some mental rewinding back to my 1st pc when I was 6 
     
    it was an old dell 1ghz celeron and 256mb ddr1 ram with integrated gpu 30 gig hdd and ****. Which I loved for about till I was 7 then it started to slow down and I complained to no end, till I was 10 and then my parents finally said "if it will shut you up we will have my uncle larry's friend upgrade it. So we take this piece down to his "office" it wasn't an office it was more like a shed there was a computer a weed-wacker and a ******** rake. So he says he can upgrade the harddrive and the ram and make it a "whole" new computer with this new thing called vista... So in a nutshell this thing was bung slow and they refused to replace the damn thing saying "your ungrateful" and "we pay for the fastest internet from comcast don't you dare tell me its slow". I told them to call the guy and tell him its slow, they did he showed up and told me there was nothing wrong with it.... "given it is getting pretty old" he said in a sly grin. So with nowhere else to turn I had to find all about these things called "computers" if I was ever going to have a decent experience with one.
     
     
    So 5 years later I am 15 and the town IT guy running a very profitable business with competitive honest prices, I also have a killer pc and a popular youtube channel because of this. I did eventually find the guy and thanked him personally for helping me discover my gift.

    As I was at the mall today, I witnessed a non-tech savy young lady from the uk and her boyfriend on a laptop using the free wifi. As I sat down to eat the girl gets up and trips over the power cord and the screen bashes on the floor. they quickly pick it up and try to turn it on, and when the screen turns on with a huge crack in the middle I hear the guy exclaim in the most British accent ever heard "oh bloody hell its got a screen virus!!" so at this point I laugh so hard I nearly choke on my subway and they are giving me a look like "wtf are you laughing about"
     
     
    I said the 1st thing that came to my mind. "My sister got that virus"

    So there is this nurse who does physical therapy with my grandfather and one day he calls me in there while she is here. And she has a macbook air sitting on the table. She says and I quote "Hey could you help me, a few years ago I paid the apple store to put windows on my laptop along with safari, (she thought safari was the entire operating system of os x) she said now that I took it in for a tune up and a new hard drive the windows went "poof" and now all I have is safari. Does that happen a lot with windows? cause that is the main reason why I don't use pc's and the only reason I had windows put on here is for work. Otherwise I would just use the safari, she then goes on to say "you should get a mac cause you never know when your pc is just going to go poof and then everything is gone.
     
     
     
    I was speechless and said, oh yeah that happens a lot. Went back into my room and laughed so hard I almost peed a little. This my friends is the "average" mac user.

    Friend of my parents walks in and see's me editing a video in premiere on one screen and half watching south park on the other. He says "woah how did you get the t.v hooked up to there. I tell him its on itunes and then he says "but its not a mac and I thought macs were the only things you could do that with"

    So i'm out filming random ducks at a park with my new t3i, and this girl goes by and asks me what is that. I tell her its a t3i and that it does full 1080p and she pulls out her phone and says "this does 1080p just as well" and kept jogging...

    Lets Segway this thread into another spring of life
     
     
    Ok so recently I asked my mentor for years in the world of film and tech about what specs his rig has that he edits 1080p on from his T4i and gets very good results in his films
     
    Core i7 3930K at 4.2Ghz Corsair liquid cooler
    32 Gb 2300mhz DDR3
    1200 watt psu
    160gb intel ssd
    10tb raid 7200rpm drives
     
     
     
    Gt 210 2gb...
     
    Let that sink in for a moment...
     
     
    Now when I heard that he was running a 210 in his rig he explained to me that its all the power he needs to drive his single 24 inch 1080p display and edit the movies
     
     
     
    not really a experience with non-techies more like a bottleneck fail...
