Yes, I read every EULA out there. Of course not, I already know what they say, I have no rights, software has bugs and blah blah blah. You, You were the one wearing your Christianity on your sleeve by bringing up what I can only assume since it written in your trademark pretentious, pedantic and pompous style was my supposed Christian hypocrisy about cloning a Mac.

I didn't mention it, no, you must have read it in another thread about me.

I'm still in your head, I own you but don't worry, I offed your soul to Ned Flanders.

Yes, you're right, those six companies were clobbered by Apple, I seem to recall saying it.

I'd love to continue this stimulating conversation (at least my side is)but I'm beat and you'll love this, I had not one but two people who needed help on their Windows PCs and since they were relatives, they thought my time and considerable expertise was free. This is like when I was 16 and I'd get a call from someone I hadn't heard of in 6 months and what was I doing that weekend, my standard answer was always, not working on your car unless you can afford me.

I love telling people my rate is $80 an hour and it's a three hour minimum but I cut them slack as they're some sort of relatives and I don't do desktops except for people who think free icons are just a great idea, nothing good is free, BTW my normal fee is much lower, at my normal job I make minimum wage and they promised me management training!

If you previously hated the Weather Channel, install their app. It's awesome in its evilness. Remember, task manager is your friend.

Six??? Yes, you said it. This is the fourth reply you've claimed that number.

You still don't get it.

Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer.

That's FIVE.

Please specifically name the SIXTH company.

It's a simple request. . . go ahead. Do it.

My hourly is higher than yours. . . plus mileage. Hey, have you seen the pump prices in Sacramento lately? ;^) I don't hit them up for a more than an hour minimum. But I'm on monthly or quarterly retainer for most of my clients. . . I get paid if they use my services or not. Downside is that my company people will be there when they need us 24/7 for as long as it takes. Special projects are quoted per job.

Funny. I spent two and a half hours working on computer for an old friend on the way home from Stockton to Sacramento this afternoon. . . emphasis on the word "old." My compensation? A dozen eggs from his chickens. LOL!

At my marginal tax rate I should throw four of them at the nearest IRS office!

But I've got to balance the delightful satisfaction that would bring me against how good they'd taste in a cheese omelet. . . Damn, decisions, decisions.

. . . at my normal job I make minimum wage and they promised me management training!

Why, oh why am I not surprised. . . better get that promise in writing.

By-the-way, you are so far from being in my head, you are not even on the same continent.
