But it wasn't that way a few years ago... And compared to most posters here I'm still a kid with regards to my length of stay.

And I agree on one thing. Christmas (as well as a few other "holidays") are getting more and more of a commercial event every…

I think it should be "synchronized" first. Why is the "legal" drinking and smoking age 20, but the age to "legally" buy porn is 2 years before that? It would seem that currently, one can buy/own/see porn at 18 but unable to buy or consume alcohol and tobacco until 2…

As I said in a different comment, if the number of users were the other way around, Macs would be hounded by viruses too.

And I agree. By my experience Windows 2000 is the best OS I ever worked with. Too bad they discontinued support without a worthy replacement. But…
