>Dare I say it, I love my Mac OS but it's only a >tool. If a better OS comes along which suits my needs ( Okay, does anyone know Eric's address? I think I read in the Apple license somewhere that he's not allowed to own a mac anymore if he voices such sentiments. :-) Eric, c'mon. Being a mac owner means that thinking about your mac sends little shivers down your spine. Thinking about your mac makes you want to run naked through the woods with the wild abandon that can only be felt by owning "the" computer and using "the" OS. There's bliss, Godhood, nirvana, brahman and then at the top of the spiritual level, being a Mac user. As a man, being a mac owner brings me in touch with my maleness (well not literally "in touch" - okay), and inspires in me so much confidence and pride in being a man that sometimes, just sometimes, I feel tempted not to put the toilet seat back down, thereby revelling in the feeling of independence and oneness, after which I look at my wife and say, profoundly, "See..." I said I feel tempted, because I have not actually tried this yet, as my wife and four daughters have let me know, in no uncertain words, that there is such a thing as a time-space continuum and it will be forever shattered if I were to attempt such a thing. Yet at times, I am tempted....and believe the continuum would probably survive the raised toilet seat, though I would surely not. Being a Mac owner, Eric, is not just about using the best OS, and flipping to another should it have the features of "Brand X" that you have so brazenly craved. Being a mac owner is something that we few men, women and children have committed to and been entrusted with. To us, the symbol of the Apple is Excalibre, and we must wield it without fear, and prepare for the day when we shall smite the Big Blue and drive it from this world, thus bringing the continuum into harmony again. This sir, is what being a mac owner is all about. Tom -- Mac Canada is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
