my wife) engraved with her name on the back, with the
Mac Pro.
You pay up front and get a rebate.
grrrrr...
You KNOW how that goes, and it usually involves many
nasty phone calls and the presentation of various documents
to various idiots and 6 mos. later you may get your check.
Nope. Just enter my Apple ID number on the website
and they know what I bought and that I eligible. Punch
a couple of buttons...
Rebate comes in 3 DAYS....
Yea for Apple customer service! 10 out of 10.
DCYeah, but why were you having ethernet trouble? ;-)

crusade to convert all the pc users to their more expensive solution only
for us pc users to not really give a shit.
to be fair i wish i started on a mac and paid the higher price but now i'm
married to microsoft apps and won't be changing over anytime soon. but it
was always funny how they were/are so passionate about a stupid computer.
I'm gonna convert you to my super zot 3 model toaster cuz all the other toasters
suck and if you don't buy into my toaster you're an idiot
Super Zot 3 rules !!!Actually it's better if everyone doesn't buy a single operating system.
Competition is good, and there's not much left.

other, we'd be utterly hosed. The "other OS" is your best friend - or Macs
would still have one button mice and menus that won't stay down, and PCs
would still be copying and moving files from the command line.

If you will take notice, I didn't make the post, and I haven't started a
thread on this subject in some time. If somebody else makes a post, then
I think it's open to comment.
I take issue with the re-accounting of Mac user history in this case. One
of the reasons Mac users evangelized the Mac, is because there was so much
FUD about the Mac back then, and apparently there still is today.so who's feed the fire? "If somebody else makes a post, then
I think it's open to comment. "
hilariousHey Mike,
Any chance of getting Paris to run on a Sinclair Z80???
I'd pony up!!
