Bill raised his daughter to be independent, but, this was just going too far!

You will be sued for every last diper (including used ones), and this time they'll take more than the used ones, you can count on that. (You can count can't you?) S.M.

Anyone notice this "Caption This!" disappeared for a couple of days? Also I think someone Jumped a little early an putting up this caption on the 14 or 15 instead of waiting for the 19 .

Maybe Sue got mad and threatened CR4? Will we ever know? Will they come clean? Same sue time. Same sue channel. unless someone posts too quick.

I noticed that it was missing, too. But I wasn't smart enough to figure out why.

What does Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, and Pigpen have to say about all this?

And by the way, what did you do with Linux's security blankie?- Did you use that too? If you did, then at least wash and clean it, please.

If I wanted Vista, I'd go on vacation. If I wanted windows, I'd go to a hardware store. If I wanted XP, I'd go look at an Import Car lot. For my next demonstration rally, the sign will say, Mac is the only way to go!

Sorry RG2, the Mac is NOT the only way to go! IMHO, if it would be up to Apple, the home PC would have been common only on rich people's desk or lap. Wondered what happened to the Apple compatibles? Right, the software is good, very good, but the price is too big for the cake. And the world famous "design"? Most of Apple's products look like infantile objects for the brain-challenged. Why the iPod and nano have to look like an air-condition remote control from the sixties? If mr. Ives et co. are such big shots in design, why not design the real future and not that of the above mentioned sixties? I, still IMHO, think thet with all the trouble, Mr. Gates did a hell of a lot more so common people also can have a good PC. And the thanks and kudos goes to them.

I agree with you totally. My main problem with Bill Gates is the cost of a product which had to be replaced from year to year or month to month (it seemed) and still would hang your computer every time you would get involved in a project. At least their software is finally getting less prone to completely drawing my ire. I never owned a Mac or Apple. My money had already gone to purchase a PC due in part because I already owned application software which worked on a PC. (If only Mr. Gates and company could get the operating system right the first time, or the second, or the third... ad infinitum.)

Just when I started getting to like their product (along about DOS 5 and DOS 6), they pulled the rug out from under me and stopped supporting DOS. Replace Mac in my previous post with whatever you would like. I like the little girl because she is just as angered by Mr. Gates over-priced software which has left too many computers vulnerable to viruses, etc. For what Mr. Gates' company has made in revenue, they should have had to provide some PC users with a car also. (I spent nearly that much over the years just to purchase the operating systems.)

Although ahead in the polls, her presidential race for the 2052 election was cut short when Microsoft board members unanimously refused to approve her nomination, based on scandalous photos that reveal what they will only describe as 'her rebellious years.'
