[AccessD] OT

Hey, ever since they finally moved to UNIX, they have a genuine OS, and 
face it, the design of their boxes and monitors blows the doors off any 
PC-compatible box. Plus, at my favorite store I recently saw a Mac 
monitor that was about as wide as my dual-monitors, with about the same 
aspect ratio. They also had another monitor for Mac that you could 
rotate 90 degrees, then press a button and it would reconfigure. Great 
for designing web pages, newspaper layouts etc.

They pay twice as much as we do for their hardware, but when was the 
last time you heard from a Mac user that her box crashed? For me it's 
been years. Mind you, I like it when the box crashes. Gives me an excuse 
to avoid real work :) And besides, how many people do you know that are 
employed fixing Mac OS/net problems? They don't seem to have them. Long 
live buggy OSes and apps! Else most of us might be standing in a kiosk 
in a mall and selling cell phones.
