Who's got time for games? Herd boys!

And your point is?

You are REALLY an idiot - NT is the best thing Microsoft has going for it.


As for your inane postings, Herd boy, we don't care. The article you
posted again and again made NO mention of any signs that Apple is going
bankrupt, or anything else. This isnt anything new. It's what they have to
do to restructure.

Much as the Wintel herd moos about the death of Apple, I don't see it
happening anytime soon. Keep mooing, Herd boys.

For those of us that use Macs professionally, we'll continue to do so, and
keep doing our jobs well, and with very little problems. My industry
(graphic design) thrives on the Mac platform, and will continue to do so,
even IF Apple were to go under. I CAN'T get my job done on a Wintel box.
Doesnt make it bad, but i use the appropriate tools for the job. So
Copeland isnt going to ship when expected. Anyone remember how many times
Microsoft rescheduled the release of Win 95? And just because Copeland
doesnt ship does NOT mean my computer won't run anymore. I continue being
paid top dollar to do what I do with system 7.5.3 - while you're off
playing a game, no doubt. Gee - a big salary, or Doom II? Real hard
decision there.

But keep posting, Herd boy - you're ample proof of the Mad Cow disease
running rampant in your herd - spread by morons like you.
