Barkeep, cold Kilkenny for me, if you would be so kind.

Now, guys, you probably don't remember me, I used to be a regular here until I experienced Apple's infamous customer's service. Since then, I've been a Windows guy.
Nice to see some still-active familiar names. Talking to you, Trip. You too, Ed. Fryke and Kjetil, are they still around?
Anyone hear what Powermac is going to be called when it gets an Intel chip? Mac Pro? I shudder at the sound of it.

I am still 'round. ... And yeah, I guess it'll be called Mac Pro. Makes _sense_ at least. Apropos sense: I need a sensitive portion* of The MacAllan, please...

*sensitive portion: time of day in 24h times four times the level of negative-okayness or something. Right now: 4cl, please.

Ah yes, I remember you (although you probably won't remember me). Good to see you around again.

So, how's the Inverse Switch gone, then?

Did you know that if you spill red wine on a white table cloth, for example...you need only to soak the stain in gin for the night and all will be forgotten. I say this, just in case.
Cheers.

*wakes up from his nap in the corner of the room*

Oh, hey all. It gets too quiet in here sometimes, you can't help but drift off.

*notices time on the clock*

Late for work. I'll be back later and we can all catch up on old times.

Still around! And you've been gone for half a world history! Welcome back, and I hope I can welcome you back to Mac OS X as well

Mac Pro? Hmm. Pro Mac, rather?

How can I forget? I wake up screaming "bbloke" at random times during the night

The inverse switch has been all but pleasing. Windows has VERY many random problems that appear out of nowhere for no apparent reason and disappear again for no apparent reason a little later.
I miss OS X.

Sorry to say, I don't think you'll see me using a Mac anytime soon. As much as I love the OS, I loathe the support team. Bastards used 6 months "fixing" my laptop before refusing a refund of money. I had a broken or outdated Mac the entire time (how do you send things back from repairs with broken keyboards and screens?).

Sad to say, they lost a customer.

You should've told the support reps a story about how important you are and how crucial your project deadline is, and you'd get a brand new Mac back in a week. AppleCare is a nice thing once you learn how to abuse them just like they abuse customers
