    Being pedantic isn't Mac a Microcomputer, I mean can you really call it a personal computer if you don't know how many people use any particular machine?

    Also keep in mind that PC can mean a lot more things than Personal Computer, but people never seem to bring those other abbreviations up when they get upset at people calling Window's machines PC's.

    It's like trying to cure mental problems by giving someone a bunch of electric shocks rather than actually dealing with the root problem. Pretty barbaric.

    Actually Electroconvulsive therapy isn't anything like the images conjured up by popular culture, where most people have their image of the procedure based entirely on One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. It is useful and helps many people live far more normal and happier lives than they would have otherwise faced.
