I guess you did not read my last post about the "dim bulbs" at Apple's MobileMe operation. Also note that the Mac fans on the List did not launch a lengthy war over what I wrote. It is not a matter of liking or disliking Apple or MS or Adobe or whoever. It is a matter of liking a job well done and not suffering fools gladly. I have a consistent track record in this regard. Recall that there was a period of years when I was excoriating Apple over their "not ready for prime time" OS X. It was not until OS X.3.3 that I finally called it "useable" (faint praise). I still carry a torch for the FTFF campaign. Mac fan bois still complain that I call it "OS X" and not "OS 10" and I will do that until they FTFF. What is well past understanding is your indiscriminate cheerleading for anything and everything from MS and your inability to keep a technical discussion technical. You consistently ignored the technical issues. Instead you used cheap debating tricks, trying to deflect us from the topic. Worse were the personal attacks that continue even now. I hate to stoop to that same personal level, but in this case I must say: stop being a jerk. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
