    I'd really like to have a mini-tower Mac, with room from 2 HD's, 2 video cards, 4-8 GB RAM, 6-8 USB ports, Firewire (400 and 800), Sata-E, and a decent core2 duo processor. Bring it in for $800-$1200 (iMac w/o monitor) and I'd be a happy camper. Maybe I should just pick up a used iMac with bad screen and replace the guts in my old IIcx? Or build a Hackintosh in there. That would be cool!

    Wife, daughter, and I each have a personal Mac, then there's the Mac Mini as media station/web server, an extra machine in the living room and one in the guest room. And there's my old Quadra 650 that I pull out when I want to scan stuff on an old 11x17 LaCie scanner. Photoshop 2.5 runs great on it.

    I've never had a PC but I do have a copy of VMWare Fusion. Just haven't gotten around to getting a copy of Windows to install on it. Works great with RedHat and NetBSD, though.

    I guess we just like computers. And yeah, we've video chatted within the house. Felt very WallâE.

    And even as competing brands have made copiers and facial tissues, you'll find that no one uses the brand names, even now. Common usage does not trump brand names. Now, the brand name owners might not have a case for common usage of their brand names in popular works and such but as far as advertising goes, yeah, no one else can use them.

    Most humor seems to be related to laughing at pain. Preferably someone else's pain ('Tragedy is when I stub my toe. Comedy is when you fall down a manhole and die." - Mel Brooks).

    And then there's word play and musical humor, that seems to inspire laughter from surprise.

    Finally, there's surrealism. Why the hell is the fish slapping dance funny? I don't know but it's a sure-ass way to incapacitate me and a lot easier than a taser.

    Rosencrantz: I mean, one thinks of it like being alive in a box. One keeps forgetting to take into account the fact that one is dead, which should make all the difference, shouldn't it? I mean, you'd never *know* you were in a box, would you? It would be just like you were asleep in a box. Not that I'd like to sleep in a box, mind you. Not without any air. You'd wake up dead for a start, and then where would you be? In a box. That's the bit I don't like, frankly. That's why I don't think of it. Because you'd be helpless, wouldn't you? Stuffed in a box like that. I mean, you'd be in there forever, even taking into account the fact that you're dead. It isn't a pleasant thought. Especially if you're dead, really. Ask yourself, if I asked you straight off, "I'm going to stuff you in this box. Now, would you rather be alive or dead?" naturally, you'd prefer to be alive. Life in a box is better than no life at all, I expect. You'd have a chance, at least. You could lie there thinking, "Well, at least I'm not dead. In a minute somebody is going to bang on the lid, and tell me to come out."
