For those of you who don't recognize this, it's the Kottke troll (edited) from way back in 1998, originally posted here. (It's at the bottom)

But I suppose that would defeat the purpose of the statement.
Dear Mr. Grammar Policeman:

Please write yourself a grammar ticket for beginning a sentence with "but."

Have a nice day.

Watch out! You're in grave danger of bringing rationality into this topic.

You'd better post a few lines on how Apple must do this, and bring back cloning, if they're going to survive (because we all know that Microsoft do quite handily in the software market).

I'm sure one of my old Macs had an Intel chip for I/O or a memory controller or something. My memory may be playing tricks on me, but I feel sure of this.

Mmmm... salt and vinegar chips... I *love* those. The problem is that they are typically hard to find at sandwich shops :(
