> ...heir metrosexual Glorified Terminals...

You know, you guys who constantly associate Apple products with kinky sex really ought to talk to somebody professional about that.

It's just not healthy.

Normal people view technological devices as tools. They may be much-loved tools, but you know, I've always appreciated my drill press too. But it's just a tool.

That's different from seeing sexuality -- especially homosexual or metrosexual sexuality -- in a neutral object like a phone or tablet.

Even a computer is just a neutral object.

Well, maybe not -all- computers.

Salamander has a computer that's definitely sexy. If you ask nice, maybe she'll show it to you.

Now, In my book, THAT is a technological device with sexual overtones. And that's Alienware, not Apple.

The others? Face it, fella, they're just phones and tablets.

> ...More Cowbell is not necessarily a good thing.

And you're just wrong about that. More Cowbell is always a good thing. :)

Perfectly stated.

Thanks for the smile, and a chuckle here and there. Always good to see a humorous response to an honest observation.

Glorified Terminals have their places as well in the computer world, I must admit. Nice to know the Atari 2600’s of the computer world are still finding some useage out there.

Then again, I could always dig up that old 486DX4-120 and do more than simple terminal work and PrintShop functions.

*grin*

I am no MS fanboi either, as I prefer Linux (*cough* OS-10 is a ‘nix derivative *cough*) but the ‘doze people always seem to be the Calm Conservatives of the computer world, while the macophiles always seem to be the Ferguson Rioters instead.

Make one disparaging remark about their Holy OS and the spittle-flying rage is a hilarious thing to see.

Makes for an interesting evening now and again. *laugh*

Oh, and we will have to disagree about the More Cowbell beliefs.

Although the SNL skit was hilarious. *grin*
