I never used Mac's because of the way Apple went after companies that made machine that ran like a Mac in the courts. I have this problem with the software industry in general. I don't like being called a thief. I've wondered how many pirated versions of software sold someone on a licenced product or got tossed in the can? I like Linux cause I'm not called a thief for useing it. I want to sue Microsft on ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) grounds for being dyslexic and haveing to type in so many characters to activate thier software. I bought a Windows XP Pro upgrade for my laptop that had WXPHE on it (glorified Win98). The laptop was stolen so used the upgrade on my desktop. I hate the internet activation and figured I would have to fight MS on the phone. Went through no problem. May be MS is wising up. Naw!

Speaking of pirated {I know I'm off subject} I found decent music I wanted and bought when I had Napster. Now I only buy what I'm sure of and I'm sure of nothing now.
