by similar logic Microsoft have themselves a contraction of the word fucking and called their phone it.

'kin hilarious if you ask me...

I'd been struggling along with a 2D one which was an absolute nightmare to find when viewed end on...

This extra dimension you refer to interests me, do you have more information in the form of a pop up book?

Its what I always compare Macs to is luxury brands.

Anyway does anyone think the Snow Leopard on the box looks smug? or is that just cats in general?

Ubuntu IMO is there. if installed and configured. No average joe could install it still but I installed it on my mates laptop that thanks to surfing for too much porn finally fell over having so much malware installed slowing it down it ground to a halt.

at the moment he's sending CV's and cover letters out left right and centre in a word format, his canon ixus camera connects just fine and uploads without a hitch, his iPod 'just works' and thanks to the malware he thinks it runs 'way' faster... how much faster is obviously relative.

his email is hotmail, but then he's an 'average' user and uses internet based apps like that without a hitch on firefox.

quite frankly i'm very impressed with ubuntu having previously used it to get mythtv working to create a HTPC (like with every project took 12months of my life and once completed never used it... i'm sure you can relate) that experience was akin to head butting a wall for a year.

but after this experience I would happily install Ubuntu on my 'average user' friends pc's. It's akin to the same experience that people are getting on linux based netbooks, they only want a small laptop that works for very little.

all it will take is a decent sized OEM to go hole hog and install Linux, savings from windows tax passed on, backed up by a similar amount of support that they throw at windows and they will break MS's grip... it's why MS are shitting a brick about linux on the netbook's as they know those users will realise they don't need Windows, linux will also be associated as 'cheap' as its coming from the bottom (cheap netbooks up...).

it was more the shock/amusement of searching for what you would expect and getting a hairless cat as the result. Beyond this me and my mates now bluetooth the image of a 'shaved pussy' to strangers in pubs for a laugh.
