I think youre right I misused the devils advocate reference. I have been interpreting it to take on the argument of anothers ideas to test them, not my own. My mistake. What is the word for what I am describing then, and do not say troll, lol. No, I won't say "troll", at least not now. I would just say that you are arguing an anti-Apple position, which is entirely your right.
BTW, my early "troll" comment was because your comment in #9 was clearly baiting Swordmaker. "Trolling" is different from arguing, in that it seeks primarily to piss off others, rather than engage in conversation. We've been having a fine conversation since then...

I must say that y'all aren't playing this 'internet discussion' thing quite right. For example, I've yet to see the word "nazi" in posts from either of you. Someone's slipping around here.
I'm a unix/linux guy, but I still drop in the apple and windows threads because some of the windows supporters are every bit as annoying as the mac heads and unix nerds.
