I can vouch for that.

we supported Xenix/Novell-Lantastic enviroments.
I worked hardware support which included OS/Hardware issues.

About the only thing that can get a radical right-wing Mac hater to

Yes, that must be why I want the FCC to piss off and Apple to do what it
chooses to do with its own products. Brilliant deduction, Sherlock.

fleeces its customers with its profit margins, but its

I make sure that I use painters tape and a tarp so I can afford to use a
