I tried writing a letter to Apple when my son's 20GB iPod died. Every four months or so, it's hard drive would fail. They replaced it under warranty twice. Then when I continued to complain, an Apple employee actually said that maybe I shouldn't be an Apple customer. That's when I wrote a letter to the president of the iPod division as well as the CEO. I did get a surprisingly prompt reply, but in the end I was told to just go away. They replaced the iPod one more time, but fought tooth and nail all the way. Somehow it was all my fault. They had no intention of keeping me as an Apple customer.
Unfortunatly, like I said, it was my SON'S iPod. HE had no intention of giving it up. He's still an ITMS consumer with an iPod Shuffle now. Sigh. Can you say sheeple?
This reminds me of the TV show (or movie...I have an old forgetfull brain) called Max Headroom, where the TV ratings are computed in realtime and shows go on and off the air at the drop of a hat.
I guess I take a more pragmatic approach.
I trust that topics like "The History of PI" are more factual than topics like "Voting Fraud in Ohio". I may not always be correct, but it's what I use.
Enjoy,

Please MOD parent up FUNNY.
Sorry, good is *not* dumb; it's trusting. BIG difference. Randy.
Ever since I began using email, have I known that email messages lack emotion and are easy to misinterpret.
Not only that, but sometimes a simple typo causes the ENTIRE message to be utterly wrong. I've left out a crucial "not" more than a few times.

Ummm...Doesn't *every* impact explosion look similar? Doesn't seem to be too much of a stretch for me.
Either that or...
What a coincidence that the Reptilian camera caught the explosion with Earth in the background! Should make a good screen saver.

...and see if we can get M$ to make good on the same threat in the USA and the rest of the world for that matter!!
Enjoy,

But then why not just throw the charging pad on a charging pad?
Nevermind!

AHH! That's IT! Computers (or robots) will be intelligent...when they learn to be LAZY! What's more human that THAT?
I'll believe in AI when a robot can teach a 5 year old child to tie shoelaces!! That's a much harder problem. -- Randy - Father of four

Too bad it was a long long time ago, because if George and company keep making prequels...pretty soon they will be chronicling *my* death!
