Default Apple next?

After an excruciating 2 hour plus download/install of a Vista Service Pack, I'm starting to wonder.

I quit wondering several years ago.

What is this "Vista" of which you speak?

Kinda grew up on the idea that a PC was a tool and a Mac was a toy. I really wouldn't know. Never had a Mac.

Ahhh, Ole! The late '06 iMac! The only computer that a non-ForTran/COBOL sort such as myself could ever even consider.

It was designed for us Libertarian Souls, who value minimal machine language and maximum freedom to create. It is an artist's greatest tool, and once you do one, you never go back!

It does not force us to do things against our nature, nor
is it always crashing... and most viruses and other terrorism cannot even find us!

Someday, the PC will go the way of the Victrola, and the
78's...

PC was a step towards the Macintosh... iCeltic!

iMac is the wave of the future...

iBeowulf, the Truly non-PC guy!
