No, the question was: "Are you going to jump to some paranoid conclusion that Apple is going the way of locked-down, 'Trusted Computing,' the the most evil thing on earth, and stop using Apple computers- even without having any data whatsoever on whether or not Apple will be going that direction?"
Glad somebody said it! And brownie points for the MBTA reference.
Wow, smaller than a Mac mini...not to mention has a fraction of the power, no removable storage, costs twice as much, and runs an OS nobody uses.
If we're going to see new hardware running ancient never-made-it graphical OS's, I'm holding out for the new Amiga.
My hope would be that Texans would give their much-abused highway signs a break from using them for target practice and begin utilizing the numerous BPL devices that will be
available. But old habits die hard.
What do road signs have to do with BPL? I don't see shooting things from a moving vehicle and surfing the internet over RF-noisy power as equal and interchangeable activies. Call me crazy, but I think we can safely assume that no one in the history of firearms and the Internet existing simultaneously has faced that decision.
Here's a little homework assignment: Tell me what the market shares of Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Bugatti are. Hell, keep it in computerland: How many percent of the CPU's in the world are Teradatas?
You don't get it. More is not better. Better is better.

Yeah, get a life and quit getting mad at people on the Internet! Wait...oh, oops. ^_^

Won't run on my Atari or TI89, either :/
Ho ho ho! Luddites that use computers? /. a favor and shut the fuck up. They've only got so much bandwidth.
Look, do
