Why do you keep on trying and trying and trying? Do you really think that

But your stating something as a fact does not make it so. You are no better
than Kaz in that regard.
I agree that ignorant people can't be helped. At least, you can't be helped.

Not you, that is for sure.

It also is bundled with the Mac OS X and a variety of programs. Let's face
it, you made a stupid statement and you got caught.

"Theoretically possible"? Build it myself?
Let's face it. You blew it. You made an outlandish comment, and I called you
on it. Apparently, you know nothing about Macs and you think you can bluff
it.
The more you continue in this vein, the stupider you look.

No, I think you aspire to flip burgers or teach at Nova Kids. B-)

Are you sure you don't mean May 2005?
Remember, I am talking about the image that you give of yourself over the
internet. Maybe you are a warm, caring person in real life who loves and is
loved, but your internet persona seems to be that of a pathetic, bitter
loser.
