Bleh. Apple makes MS look like the EFF. (And I'd sooner switch to a graphing 
calculator as my primary PC than go back to OSX.) MS may be no better than 
any other corporation, but Jobs's demise was the #1 best thing to happen to 
technology since Win2K/XP. ('Course they couldn't get me to use that 
Vista/Win7 trash if they paid me.)
