    If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly, you stupid idiotic moron Mac user.

    If you would like Apple to screw everything up,
    click Screw everything up Some sites require Mac OS to suck more than normal. Click the Apples suck menu and then click Mac suck rate to determine what strength "Suck" you have installed. If you are trying to reach a secure site, make sure you are not running a Mac. Click the My Computer menu, and then right click Drive C:. On the Menu select "Format".

I guess it's true. Ignorance must be bliss. Look how happy Steve is most of the time.

Steve, how are you fairing with the latest MyDoom? Me thinks it's just getting the PC users ready for the next onslaught. I've heard it's going to be called YouDumb.

Bub's is on the other end of the world from you.......but I'll meet you there. John will come down, he's not far. M2Smith probably, if he's not selling that music equipment snake oil stuff that's surely turning our young ones into mindless fools.

Speaking of mindless fools, my older daughter just asked me what I was doing. Once again I told her "virtually denigrating CCM", telling her was getting nasty about the Mac.

Her reply:

"I guess all M people can't be M people. It's too bad."

So I'll keep trying.

Steve, this will ease you into a better life:

Yeah, I know. Double post.

Never gotten a virus? How do you explain you recent PC crash? Do I remember it was "Norton acting up"? Pshaw......let me at your machine with a few utilities, I'll show you how sick it really is, even with a new build of the OS on it.

Oooohhh........a challenge: Post your running processes here, let us take a look.

Drink the Gates KoolAid.

Me? I don't need KoolAid. It's much better being in the Jobs Reality Distortion Field.

Let's see how many things AdAware or SpyBot could find on Steve's machine too... If the Dept of Homeland security can't make IE secure what hope does King Cod have..??
I like that other link Jeff, I'll be using that at work!

Ah. So a MAC is just different looks and we can customise XP looks to turn it into a MAC - so why do you have to pay so much more? Does that cover the cost of the guy who does the XP customising to save you the bother?

BTW, A Mac is a computer... a MAC is a low-level internet address and all your PCs have them too..! Kind of like Mini and MINI - there is a difference!
[edit]
They told me the extra was for my licence to sneer at PC users

Alright I will tell the parents to keep a look out on the beach for any of my bottles. I still have the rubber ducky on the dash since MOT. When I am board in the car, I talk and sing to him...

I love it (the picture with the critter with a pancake), why would I want to run Mac OS, it is no fun unless you over pay for the hardware too...
