Oh, but I forgot to say, thank you for the history. And even as a PC user, I thought the Mac ads were cute.

> No, it’s still stupid. I was a PC user until very recently. WE ought to all be focusing our anger on the people who are the real problem. Instead we waste a lot of energy hating each other. It begins to remind me of the Republican party. Or 15 year old boys... *sigh*

Well, sure, but that's human nature. Maybe not at its finest, but human nature nonetheless.

You're very welcome, my pleasure.

So did I.

I don't have any particular computer loyalties -- I've used nearly every major small computer since they were invented (my FR profile has a little personal history if you're interested) including MS-DOS from the start, Windows from version 2, all the Mac OSes, a huge variety of Unixes and Linuxes, etc. I am completely bored and annoyed by "mine's better than yours" battles, especially on internet forums. What a colossal waste of time! I do sometimes try to correct gross inaccuracies and misconceptions in others' comments, but that's often futile also, and sometimes gets me in hot water ... *sigh*
