er - if that's addressed to me that sounds like ... sarcasm? Not good if it is. My point only was that some households have lots of macs, whilst some may have lots of PCs. I have never owned or used a PC except rarely when forced to on location.

If you get that kind of comment back then it doesn't reflect well on some contributors.

I think fryke was just kidding with you. There was a little smiley after his comments, after all.

When Steve (he hates being called "Stevie" or "The Jobs Man") comes over my place, I make sure that I hide all my Windows machines. That's what really upsets him. You can pirate the hell out of the Mac OS, but legit copies of Windows will not be tolerated. You have been warned.

Ya know, what if Steve Jobs had an account here on MacOSX.com? What would you say to that? How would you recognize him if he did? You think he'd actually use an alias associated with Apple? HA! Perhaps, just maybe, you may have had an unknown conversation with him....maybe, and maybe NOT. You just never know. You never know who you're going to meet on the big blue marble. The world is a very small place, be careful how you joke about CEOs whom you know nothing about....you just may get WHACKED!...or NOT!

I got whacked once, the Vulcan Mind Meld brought me back...haven't been quite the same since....but close is good enough.

If you can tell me the full name of a single person who has lived his life fully legitimately then I will gather back the software, return it, and buy the single users for all 5 of us so that the richer can get richer )while the poorer get poorer0.

...Can you tell me that every single MP3 file on YOUR HD is bought and/or licensed properly?
...Can you tell me you have accounted for every single dollar you:ve earned when doing yourt taxes?
...Can you tell me you have always driven the SPEED LIMIT and never exceeded over?

I am not religious but I believe the saying is,...
*Let he who has not sinned, cast the first stone.*

so anyway,
...get my point?

wow this topic has REALLY gotten off subject, lol!!!
