Gee, I wouldn't call them Godless!
Arrogant bastards, sure, but Godless seems a might strong.

Furthermore, the Darwin OS is released under an "Open Source" license, which is just another name for Communism.
Every time I hear someone mention that Open Source is akin to communism, I can't help but laugh!

These letters you now ponder were typed on a Mac, specifically the G4 733 mhz mode. Mac's rule!

Amazing how so many can be fooled here as on some "other" message boards regarding this bit. It's all tied in with the spoof page
Landover Baptist Caution, anyone who is a Christian is likely to not like what they find there - I know I wound up pretty offended.

He does have a point... the symbol of the Apple computer is an apple with a bite out of it.
One could stretch a bit (no pun intended) and conjecture that this represents Mans fall from
grace..even celebrates it. The apple bitten is the symbol of mans separation from God.
It is the affirmation of taking in the forbidden fruit (of course Clinton bit but didnt swallow)
the missing chunk swallowed is the joining of satan to man...and sin inculcated. Man who now
possess the knowledge of good and evil...and satan's lie that you will be like God ...
Or Maybe Not.

I thought Landover was hilarious - a spoof, just as it was supposed to be.

Glad to know my Mac will be around long after your PC burns itself out!

Ha ha ha. The first part of the descriptor is more characteristic of PC users who can't conceive of any other operating system. For instance, today in lab meeting, when I announced that I had ordered the PC, called by some in the lab a "real" computer, someone asked, "Oh, we're getting a Mac, too? But nobody in the lab (10 people) uses Mac. Well...except for aruanan," she said. "And Bill (the principal investigator who's paying for it all)," I said. "And Don, and Betty, and Dalida. Looks as though we have some selective perception going on here." "But why do we need a Mac?" she asked. I said that we had to have something that would run Photoshop 7 the way it was supposed to be run (for instance, the entry level model 800MHz G4 is over 25% faster at the standard battery of Photoshop tasks than the 2.0 GHz Pentium 4.) The one most typical thing I've seen in PC users is the complete certainty that the PC is the "real" computer combined with the almost total inability to do anything either on a PC or a Mac than to use a program.

My iMac is Catholic, just like me :D

Check out any number of Mac-based message boards. The Macintosh is without question very popular among those who use it.
I'd call Mercedes-Benz and BMW popular cars, and yet they both have about 1% of the market. Apple has 3.5%.
