ROTFLMAO, yup, I understood that the damn things were turned to bricks,
"Open Source" and all, when someone did something that the big Apple in the
sky didn't like. Like I said, if you can talk the dolts into how good it is
for them and maybe even make them believe that it makes them special, you
can totally control the customer. I hope you have a warm, cozy, well taken
care of, feeling about your Apple, it makes me happy to know that heirs to
Madison Avenue in the fifties have arisen and are as skilled as ever.


have a nice day
