Anonymous Apple Dude! We miss your comments.

Just think about a computer scenario in which Darth Jobs and the orchard gang would have control. Two year old technology at ridiculous prices? Nope. Give me Windows any day. Apple's idea of innovation is building a prettier case. At least, they were smart enough to steal FreeBSD and manipulate it into their current operating system - Alley Cat, Lion, Tiger, Feral, Panther, Garfield or whatever they call it today. Microsoft is forever striving to improve their products. They leave the case building to hardware people. Besides, the most popular selling software for an Apple is a Microsoft product! Office!

Come on Internet Explorer 7! Popunders are showing up in Firefox and spyware people aren't being exterminated quickly enough. To the live volcano with them, I say! Recently installed Linux SuSE 9.2 with the KDE interface on two machines (sweet!). KDE has a browser called Konqueror. It's a nice piece of software, but not the quickest player on the block. I haven't tried Opera, but some folks seem willing to pay for it. The free version has ads and that just plain sucks. Folks, if you know people in the spyware business, don't leave your doors unlocked. Thieves are easily tempted.

Have you Googled today? It's Leonardo Da Vinci's birthday and their banner has an appropriate theme. Just click on it and you'll find a world of links about this great scientist.
