    I'd like to respond to one of the pertinent assertions you made in your argument:

    Blah, blah, hippie crap, blah, conspiracy theory, blah, blah, blah.
    No wonder you posted AC.

    There are a million more things you can do on a PC than a Mac. If you don't know the difference you are either blind, or in a state of denial because you own a mac. Yeah. I thought so. I'm not saying 'vista' is any good, but ANY PC (laptop or desktop) is better. Simply stating that you do not seem to realize the awesome variety of capabilities of a PC compared to a MAC. Example? Do you have team fortress 2? lol. no. you just have e-mail.
