That was done for a reason. There are some tightass's there who come close
to some of the maccies here. Some of them, like some of you, believe that
the "more expensive" a commodity, the better it is.

Quite a profound statement.

I didn't realize you knew nothing about wines.

Can you suggest any real good wines that are not expensive? I prefer
dry over sweet. Seriously... even a decent Pinot noir would be fine.
I try to stay away from added nitrates which makes things a challenge.

I guess if you're stuck on a platform where you can't even install the
latest major version of the operating system because it's still so
buggy, it might be nice to get an update for your six year old operating
system.

It's a little sad, though. I think I'd rather stick to a platform where
new major versions of the operating system are actually worth
installing. I'll be installing one in the next three or four weeks....

You've always struck me as the kind of man who would like a bottle of
Thunderbird.

zara said, while downloading the latest patch for Windows XP, which he
even created a thread about!

This is one of your funniest threads. You've taken your cluelessness

HAR, HAR, HAR - a real thigh slapper. Your newsreader must be broken, you

And, just to stay on topic for the advocacy groups, http://winehq.org
