Viewers discuss whether Jerry intentionally never uses his bike or computer on the show, with some suggesting it reflects how people buy things they don't actually use.

It always bothered me that Jerry never seems to use his bike or pc. At least I have never seen it. How much would it take to open an occasional scene with Jerry at his computer, or entering the apt with his bike?

Maybe its a comment on how people buy things thinking they are going to use them or thinking they HAVE to have them, but they end up collecting proverbial dust.. like my Jane Fonda Treadmill...hey, make me an offer..!

Once again I am being misquoted... I did not write this.. I wrote something to the effect that I think he has them cause its the thing to have and things like that end up collecting proberbial dust.

I did not say the quoted snippet..

Definitely a Mac - it's a Duo Dock (combination desktop/notebook type thing)

I think this is intentional. Jerry seems to be the type to buy things and then not use them, as is the case with many of us. Just to have it and to be able to say that you do. Though I (obviously) use my computer and my bike, I have a couple friends who let both just sit. NEVER touch them. Don't see Jerry use his stereo much either. I haven't seen him cook much. Watches TV. Sound like anyone you know?

One episode has Jerry sitting at his Mac when Kramer comes in. (He's there in two scenes, I think)

The most irksome thing are people who comment endlessly on the nature of the bike and the computer (It's a mac! No, it's a PC!). They're decoration, they're not an integral part of the plot! Some people feel that if Jerry uses a product they use, it legitimizes their sorry-ass lives.

-I saw him using his computer briefly in a recent episode, just as somebody -walking into the apartment. But it seems to me that he used to have a -Macintosh, and now has an IBM-compatible system. Anybody else notice this? - -Mark Steward -Madison, WI

I guess he finally got wise.

Mmmmm, yeah well I guess if he was going to have a bike that never got used, it should have been an excersize bike.
