*GIGGLE*...you said kerfluffage...
(I searched, this is officially the first time "kerfluffage" has been used
on LUGNET...handshakes and backslaps all around...congrat's Larry!)
I don't know if this is where we are at (well, Hoppy might be there,
but...)...I really didn't post this to start a Mac/Win war...I try to avoid
them if I can...but the little geek voice in me said "Go on! Post it! It's
funny, AND you are actually poking fun at Apple...everyone will get that,
right?" Stupid little geek voice.
