Is it possible for you to make ANY sense? This BBC article which I read
previously is one big sh*tpile, the author has no grasp on things like the
constitution and the people who believe in it. Now anyone who doesn't like
something Apple does has a deep seated hatred for them...
You have become a sad caricature of yourself, Tom. You go after Betty who
is an Apple lover when she *sees* something that is good but can look at
things clearly enough to be able to see problems and concerns with their
products. I'm sure everyone on this list now realizes it's just a matter of
time before they disagree with dictator Tom and they have to deal with his
lashing out at them, calling names and being generally an idiot. You've
driven intelligent people from this list in the past, keep it up and all
that will be here will be the sycophants...but you would probably like that.
