I live on the planet where I actually USE an Apple product daily. My wife's Macbook Pro is running fine, my new one is about 95%. Sure I get the spinning beach ball, but I know it's because I put a third party hard disk in it and I'll deal with my own decision because everything else is PHENOMENAL! :)
You lead a very full life there, Ari!

Au contraire, a cold winter's night is the perfect time to have sheep around.
Hey, I have to do something with all the time I am refusing to think of the children!
