Gosh, don’t the transvestite atheist hairdressers who buy these things realize they’ll be tied into a single supplier? For forty dollars, anyone can build a Mac with off-the-shelf parts. /sarc

Windows Vista — the best advertisement for Apple Mac since the famous SuperBowl commercial.

I am a Windows guy (gotta be — its what runs ERP apps) and I can’t begin to tell you the number of times I have wanted to viscerally flay Billy-boy Gates and his “designers” one layer of skin at a time with a rusty butter knife.

And office 2007 makes me REALLY angry.

With a Macbook, Mini and Time Capsule all running perfectly without any issues, I am not surprised Apple is doing so well.

That's okay, don't worry about it.

That's okay, don't worry about it.

That's okay, don't worry about it.

That's okay, don't worry about it.

Yeah, but you know, Swordmaker, these numbers don't mean a thing. Apple products are only of interest to a tiny fraction of electronics and computer users, and they're all fanbois who want nothing more than to buy everything Apple makes!

Apple is DOOMED! They are dying! Any minute now, POOF! DEAD! See???

Yes, Apple is but an iridescent bubble, floating in the wind, wafting along in misty morning dew light, bouncing effortlessly, safely buoyed up on the happy thoughts of butterflies and hummingbirds, until it touches something substantially attached to reality, when, regrettably in a splash of bursting rainbow light, it disappears with an etherial chime, echoing across the wooded glen, to be missed only by weeping fairies and elves sadly dancing to the haunted melodies of piping fauns when they gather for the annual day of remembrances of things that once were but that will never be again...

Damn, fella! That was GOOD!! :)

[PA Engineer]

You gotta fix that return key.

[PA Engineer]

I might have to have that engraved on my tombstone.

[Swordmaker]

Blush... thanks... It's so wretched I'm thinking I should submit it to the Bulwer-Lytton literature contest... I just tossed it off in response to your "Poof!" which needed something ... something...

Will you have it done in some very nice Calligraphy? With flowers?

Flowers would be a nice touch, however I was thinking along the lines of a bubble gum font. ;-)

[TheStickman]

LOL!!!

Oooh, Oooh! Can we have a perpetual Soap bubble blowing machine ???? Can we... that would be soooooo cool...
