No, I just don't like people who say Apple is evil and hate them and tell
people not to buy their products because of some perceived ripoff treatment
Apple has given them. I don't see very many current or former Apple III
or Lisa owners carrying on so, and they would certainly have more grounds to
do so. It's stupid and childish in my opinion. When you have people telling 
someone her Powerbook wasn't made by Apple since Apple only makes computers 
with "Apple" in their name, you've reached a ridiculous extreme.

I really don't give a piss what kind of machines people own/use. Too bad other
people don't take that point of view.

Your point?

All it takes is an email saying to look elsewhere, or answering the question
if possible. Making a stink doesn't help it go away.
I'll not dignify that last part with a reply. I don't believe you're a newbie
here since I've seen articles from you before, so I must assume you haven't 
been paying attention. I'm sure others here will agree that I contribute my 
share of Apple II info here.
