yes indeed I can enlighten you. Neil Gaimen is the author of some finely written, fantastical but incredibly imaginitive books and graphic novels including Neverwhere (produced as a BBC series) and "The Sandman" saga. He also co-wrote a book with Terry Pratchett called "Good Omens", a triumph of comedy and fantasy.
It's a shame they Dream Works have bought the rights before the film even comes out for two reasons. One, nobody really knows if it will be a good book - but with his track record it probably will. Secondly, it will probably turn out that Dream Works will ruin the subject matter, when somebody more capable or idependent would have done the book far more justice.
FACT:
Apple doesn't make the components in your MAC. e.g the intel processor or the PowerPC chip....
OEM laptop manufacturer's don't make their laptops from their own components.
Still, if you want to pay +30% "cool set" price on all your hardware then please continue.
Lol, sorry but
Bottom Line: PC Hardware sucks because no one is in control of it. (Even Dell and Sony can't get it right) Apple has the best hardware for their computers, the best hardware for their music players and I suspect will have the best hardware for their phones. where have you been living? You back this up with one example, clearly a personal, subjective example and you say it's not about being part of the mac "elite".
EVERY person, and I MEAN EVERY person I know who has an iPod has seen the internal HDD, supposedly the best "hardware" fail after 6 - 14 months. Most of them conveniently after the years warranty has run out and you are then free to pay Apple the "nominal" fee of £170 to get it replaced. A fucking HDD! you can buy them on ebay and replace them yourself for £30! The difference between a MAC and PC? The fanbois. that's it.
You probably bought an acer laptop anyway, for which you would deserve everything you got...
