"MacInTouch.com has an absurd story about BellAtlantic
ADSL and its non-sensical policy about supporting only Windows
machines (and only iMac). If you wanna see an excercise in
human innanity and corporate logic, read it at
here "
It pained me to read this. I can't fathom the world we live in
sometimes. Anyway this is amusing enough to read, but you
might suffer sympathy frusteration.
