Yup - never mind that 4667 is a company that emphasizes HARDWARE, as opposed to MS which emphasizes software. If you want to buy the Mac hardware, then do it. But please, don't whine about PC's because microsoft isn't interested in building PC hardware. If they did, then we'd have the cult of personality for 5t3^3, as off color as that might seem.

Correct, they also might think it has something to do with the shape of space, which it does not have anything to do with the effect of space on matter e.g. gravity. It's a very fancy inward reflecting fresnel

Look, the people throwing the 'party' thinks cool! MS will give it to me as compensation for introducing it to my family and friends.

Considering they like the new OS, these people CAN be bought. I know, because I'm ONE OF THEM HA HA HA HAAAA! (Evil Cackle). Free software for me, boo hoo for u.

You're not alone. I got tired of the same issues and have the same setup in place now. I couldn't be happier! I get what I want, when I want, for a price I'm willing to pay all with ultimate hardware control. Win7 does a nice job with time shifting and interface interaction...

I occasionally take spouse aggro when things need tweaking, but still when I show her the lack of a cable/satellite bill the effect is nullified.

If this is a corporate deal, there is NO WAY they are going to say anything else than what HR tells them to. Just as long as you pass the screening and drug tests, you pass on your own merits. Since you have the new job in the bag, you already have nothing to worry about. If you haven't cleared the checks, then yes you should keep your nose clean until you have the offer in writing.

*thunderous cheers*

Can anyone explain how this applies to home users? Just password protect your router to not share your wireless and you should be fine... go read the bill. If you disagree with that approach, please correct my thinking: I assert data is not like the water company. Data is not ubiquitous, uniform or equally valuable. To summarize my point, If you have to keep your receipts for 10 years for the IRS, 2 years doesn't seem that bad to an average joe.
