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.

Those numbers, in this economy, are simply amazing. Wow.

I bought a 128K Mac in 1984, and have had many other Macs/Apple products since then. It’s always been fun, but over the last few years it’s been amazing to see how Apple products have influenced our lives. Good for them, and as a new small publisher I look forward to Wednesday. I’m thinking books/mags with supporting video clips are a no-brainer.
