  2. Re:Monopoly = Paralysis on Microsoft: The Faint Smell of Rot · · Score: 1

    One of my Mac clients did switch to Windows recently. He couldn't get his Mac based Quicken to hook up to his bank so he switched from OS X on his dual 2.0 Ghz G5 to Virtual PC (and Windows) for that... of course then he switches back.

    Deep in the Gates compound...

    "Honey! Come to bed, It's Wednesday and you know what that means!"

    20 minutes later

    "Doh!"

  4. Oh sure... on Bill Gates Handwriting Analyzed · · Score: 1

    this version of the doodle is hard to comprehend, is badly organized and doesn't seem to make much sense - but just wait till the 2.0 release!

  5. Re:Windows 2.0, not 1.0 on Through The Steve Ballmer Looking Glass · · Score: 1

    I used to use CorelDraw in a small graphics business I used to own. Corel installed run-time Windows just to run CorelDraw (the rest of the time I'd run DOS or GEM).

  13. "Why do you argue?" Who will take my bet.. on Jon Stewart on CNN's Crossfire · · Score: 1, Funny

    That Jon experienced the same scene with his parents when he was young.

  14. Aw C'mon Jon... on Jon Stewart on CNN's Crossfire · · Score: 1

    Through history, have things been any different with media and spin?

    I assert the only thing that's changed is the method of delivery.

    ex. the media of the day spreading the rumor that Thomas Jefferson was an atheist when he was a deist.

    ex. the way the media had to be spun (and unspun) by Lincoln on civil war issues in order for the public to fully support it.

    Lessee... Lion, um - Leopard, Cougar, Gepard... uh.. Thundercat?
    Jobs better hope for divine intervention.
