It's all bullshit, Cotty. If lollyhead was actually employed by Genesi back in 2002, he wouldn't have just made a really stupid mistake in his post. Spelling errors of that nature, especially with people who worked on the project, simply would not occur. I seriously doubt lollyhead is much more than 14 or 15. Had he actually experienced what Genesi and bPlan did to their contractors, he wouldn't be bashing Apple quite so much. He's a name dropping nincompoop. Nothing more. > >> I'll also never forgive apple for what they did to the clones, greedy >> bastards.
