Friday morning, I ordered an iMac for my wife and a MacBook for myself! So our divorce from Bill Gates and all the headaches he's caused us is imminent!

As soon as Apple determines that you don't have a ponytail, they will intentionally sabatoge the machine by remote. Without one, you don't qualify to own a Mac....  |

I'm planning on attending a local mac user group meeting next month and am hoping that, being in conservative Alabama, there won't be too many of them there. Although I thought they were cool in high school (23+ years ago), as an adult I have a hard time dealing with the Spicolli's of the world.

I also did it!! But not a Mac (I own stock in Microsoft!!). Pulled the trigger on a new Dell all-in-one computer this morning. Should get here tomorrow or Wed. My old Dell laptop finally gave up the ghost. It lasted ten years with no problems till the hard drive finally crashed, so I'm back on the Dell train!

He may have cut his 'freak flag' off, but he keeps it on hand for identification purposes, never you fear.  ff topic and tongue-in-cheek:
