    yes I shall - I shall feed him copious amounts of nitroglycerin, napalm, and dynamite, then bind and gag him, stapling letters of apology to apple all over his body, and shove him into the main coporate headquarters of microsoft wearing nothing but a molitov cocktail with a short fuse.

    I have no idea what he meant. I know what he said, but evidently what he said isn't what he meant.

    Also, there's no such thing as condescension. If you perceive condescension, it's just a side-effect of your inferiority complex.

    Buck up, little camper. Someday you're be a real boy.

    Dear Father Sims

    Thank you for your kind letter! Being a former Catholic priest myself, I know exactly what you are talking about! It has been our dream at Apple Computers ever since we began in the 80's to shape the homosexual experience with the ultimate computer.

    I can answer your letter by saying that YES we will indeed be making a firewire version of the FUFME. With the additional bandwidth offered by the firewire bus, we will be able to more accurately record and deliver more minute and subtle movements that the USB FUFME simply couldnt support due to lack of bandwidth. You will be able to recognize our firewire FUFME in stores by the fancy holographic logo of a cock entering an Apple.

    We are glad to help loyal customers such as yourself. If you ever have any more questions, feel free to drop a line (or connect to my teledildonic FUFME server on fufme://cockman.apple.com).

  5. Again. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    I hope that this is a bot, or a script of some kind, posting this to every apple topic.

    The idea of some poor embittered fuck, pasting this out of a textfile he rendered from his misplaced nerd-fuelled bile -- is just too stupendously pathetic to even be considered amusing.

    "Apple hardware is for real computer lovers."
    "It's no hassle to use a plethora of keyboard combos to make up for the patronising one-button mouse. Despite the fact that my hands have FIVE fingers, and multiple-buttons make Web browsing so much more pleasant, I prefer my computer to be treat me like a special-needs child."

    Anyone who uses vi or emacs has no right whatsoever to complain about a plethora of keyboard combos (DISCLAIMER: At various points in my career, I have used both vi and emacs on a day-to-day basis, and it is not my intent to complain about the many useful keyboard shortcuts).

    Meanwhile, if you want a multibutton mouse, go get one. I use a four-button trackball myself, and I enjoy complete support for it in OSX. The multibutton mouse, while useful, has been proven time and time again to be a confusing interface for novice users; OSX gives you the option of having such an interface without forcing it on everyone. What, pray tell, is the matter with that?
