thank you, Eric. as a technophobe until 2002, and starting on a Mac, I've developed a similar philosophy as you... I am unable to understand how well Apple markets itself as the hip, free and un-evil (in contrast to windows)"alternative" when all their software is proprietary to it's hardware and vice vera.... well... i'm a digital-artist, programmer and video editor and i'm a PC....(linux is great for running servrs! or sabayon, locally) PS finally... botnet for apple! out NOW!!!

thank god. I'm so sick of apple... Growing up on a mac (good 'ol design school), I thought it was superior to windows... Until I noticed how blurry the aliasing is on a mac by default. The second was compatibility wars in the early millennium. I like the concept. I like the look. but how are you going talk smack about the same business model that you follow. not to mention proprietary issues... yuck! but why take it from me? I use windows! lol anyways...Guess i'm just being a grump, enjoying some bad news concerning the status symbol PC.

I actually have the same approach.. I have too many people in my life that leave the stupidest voice mails (trying to be funny, info i don't need, just saying hi).... my time is too important to listen to automated operators followed by useless information. On another note, this service would be great for harassment and prank phone calls!
