Tim - while your unwavering advocacy for Linux is admirable and very much
welcome (especially since this is a _Linux_ user group), I don't think
bashing alternative products with borderline troll-ish, subjective comments
promotes the _Linux_ cause either.  Case in point is your reference to
Apple's products as <quote>overpriced rubbish</quote> which people only buy
because of Steve Job's marketing genius.
