Don't be lazy, David - given your intellectual record, the least we can expect is a cold, reasoned explanation as to why your preferred platform should not...
... um, oh you *are* talking about me :-) given my intellectual record the best you can expect is an emotive outburst of mac boosterism - i've been working on...
Dave, I wholeheartedly agree. I have also been a Mac enthusiast since 1984. In fact I bought my 128K the day after the Orwellian Super Bowl ad and even owned a...

First of all, thanks Dave for the constructive account of how to spend your contract dollars. I look forward to smoking a Cohiba with you one day! Talking of...
