Oh. I just called my sister to tell her that, but she had already figured it out. She also said that when she plugged the borg-thing into a USB port of her Windows-PC to get it working, the borg-thing instantly contracted a virus. It then started screaming in agony and threw itself into the...

Is that what that thing in the plastic cannister was? All those parts you had to assemble? Wow. I thought it was a bionicle. Tony M

The firey eye above the mountain is cool.....to orcs. It's no secret, orcs love fire because they like things that burn and melt, like villages and motherboards. For your love of fire, you are the orc in my analogy. Frodo lives! Frodo hates the unblinking eye! ;) Tony M

Ya know, that's exactly what the Nazgul said to Frodo before stabbing him. Approximately. By siding against Frodo, you have become the Nazgul in my analogy. Pff. The beret and beatnik poetry that came with my Mac, I just threw away--the same thing my sister did with the freebies that came...

No difference?! * sputter * At less than 5% of the computer market, Mac is the underdog. Windows-PC, on the other hand, is the big dog that controls over 95% of the computer landscape. And the big dog wants to destroy Mac. That is a big difference between owning a Mac and a Windows PC...

Digital art and cartoony stuff. I do the "Zogonia" strip in Dragon and the "Mt. Zogon" strip in Dungeon. Tony M

That is funny. But probably not uncommon. My household is like that: the Mac is for work and internet; the PC is for play. Speaking of commercials, the new ones for Hewlett Packard computers are really good--the ones where you don't see the guy's head as he moves his hands around, creating...

Cool. I was afraid I might be coming across as a Mac zealot. Haha, protect-me-from-myself mode. Maybe that'll be an option in Vista! Quick, email Bill Gates! :) Tony M

Yeh, I'd say that. With a Mac, a major problem requires somebody to fix it. Just like a PC. The difference is that an average Mac has very few average-sized problems, while an average PC has many. (A newer Mac, at any rate.) Average-sized problems are horrible because they might actually...

If it was wonky out of the box, you should've returned it for a replacement. A percentage of everything arrives defective, after all. The PC mentality of "everything can be fixed if I waste enough time troubleshooting it" doesn't apply to Macs, IMO. The average Mac works perfectly. Yours...

That's another thing I like about Macs. When there is a problem, the solution is often turn it off, turn it on. There are no layers of complexity and esoteric options and technical phonecalls and asking your friends and reading books to figure out what is going on, like with PCs. With Macs...

This question shows why a group of adventurers should always have a party name (e.g., "Party of the Bright Spear"). If the name remains, then any members of that group are still in the same party, even if all the founding members have quit or died. Look at it this way. If every party member...

I once saw a Windows PC come to life and start killing everybody for no reason. It was horrible! Then a Mac computer, who had come to life two years earlier and had a much friendlier personality, slashed the PC in half with one swing of its katana. Yay! Tony M

Ah. You prefers PCs to Macs, and you prefer manual transmissions to automatics. I've deduced that you prefer things that have a steep learning curve. I kid! I kid! :) / likes Macs // can't drive a stick Tony M

I went into a custom-builder store once, years ago. I mostly didn't know what the salesguy was talking about. I didn't know enough about RAM and memory and processor speeds to understand him. He even used words like "serial bus" and "cache," which made no sense at all. I'm more...

I bought a Mac a few years ago, because I was sick of my IMB Amiga PC. I hated it, and it hated me. I would buy software and frequently the software wouldn't run. I couldn't figure out how to make the computer do things I wanted it to do. And it crashed often. Compared with that horrible...

Thanks! :) Tony M

I purchased it several months ago, during the sale. I haven't been able to Search all this time, either. Here's the info I cut-n-pasted from my PayPal history: * * * Item Amount: $19.99 USD Shipping: $0.00 USD Handling: $0.00 USD Quantity: 1 Item Title: Community Supporter - ON...

I have a Community Supporter account, but can't PM somebody. Did my account de-activate? Tony M

I find this hard to believe. MMMbop? You must be thinking of "She Bop" by Cyndi Lauper. Or maybe your hand spasmed on the keyboard while you were typing "Candles in the Wind" or "Karma Chameleon." Hanson? Haha, as IF. Tony M
