What with the PC and Mac flame and counter flame? Perhaps we should set up
a newsgroup "alt.Hack.Mac.Bash.IBM" so us mac guys can unleash a full
salvo of facts, figures, here-say, etc against the rest of the world
while you poor PC guys reformat your hard drives, restart after a crash,
realize that the $80 program you bought doesn't run without a $160
soundcard, quit from Windoze to run your HD compactor, etc. etc. 

(This should cause an uproar!!)
