iWorkstations?

It has space age styling with space for all your Apple goodies and not much else. Rain Design of San Francisco is shipping a similar stand called the iGo. PC users can prepare to drool with envy, again."

No. Panera Bread and Hollywood video.

No, I listen to what I consider to be mainstream music. How many people would really give a shit about P2P or the RIAA if it wasn't all about mainstream music? ;)

There isn't anything wrong with this if it can be backed up with proof. Of course, if you work in the IT field (I got out of it and got my HVAC certification), techs with computer knowledge are a dime a dozen.

>Office Space is one of your favorite movies.

True that. It's a poignant reminder of why working in IT sucks.

I don't really mind that. Now when they misuse technical jargon just to try and sound smart, it's lame. Like that line "Plug the hard drives into the main AC power" or something to that effect in the Matrix II. Make up your own techno-sounding terms "Plug the futzwitzer into the main AC power!" or use the real ones properly.

The average bear shits in the woods. I use a toilet.

Never have, never will.

Since this post wasn't directed to me and I just wanted to get my .02 in, I don't feel entitled to respond to this comment. I was just hoping to get a chance to say something derogatory about Apple but you never brought it up. Damn.
