OE dosent run on a Mac.

Oh, but it does - there have been versions of it under both MacOS and OS
X. Thankfully, Entourage has replaced it these days, though some would
say that's not necessarily an improvement.

Anyway, your headers indicate that you're using Microsoft Outlook
Express 6.00.2900.3598; if I'm not mistaken, that's the version of
Outlook Express that shipped with Windows XP Service Pack 2. So we can
infer that you're a Service Pack and a crapload of patches and hotfixes
behind current - or maybe you just really like that specific release of
Outlook Express, and went to great lengths to make sure that it survived
subsequent updates.

Either way, either one of those things pretty much nullifies your
opinion regarding matters of a technical nature.



Nothing nullifies his opinion, either way. It's an OPINION. It
just doesn't happen to agree with your own.

If what he's using works for him, his opinion is as valid as your
own.

If he doesn't like Macs, his opinion is as valid as your own.
There are significant numbers of individuals here who agree with
him. Some, with more technical expertise than yours.



There was a member of this newsgroup, now passed on, who
preferred Win 98. It worked for him, got him where he needed to go.
That the rest of the world disowned Win 98 a decade ago was of no
consequence. As for his technical expertise...He could hold his own
in UNIX, OpenBSD, Windows (through 7), Mac and Linux. And was a
developer for a number of them.

He just happened to prefer Win 98. I have no idea why. Nor is it
relevant.

I'm running 7 on my laptop.

Just to lazy to set it up all the way.

Do I need to explain sarcasm and hyperbole here, or is it now taken as read?

Don't care. Really, I don't. Mac vs. PC is no more interesting than
Windows vs. Linux, Atari vs. Amiga, CP/M vs. DOS, or any other retarded
'my OS is better than yours' argument from either recent times or the
ages. I'd almost compare it to a Chevy vs. Ford argument, but it's far
less interesting than even that. Hell, I've read dosing instructions
for cat ear medicine that are more compelling.

Some, with more technical expertise than yours.

Are you sure about that statement? I mean, you don't know my technical
background, and I can assure you that my technical background is PRETTY
DAMN BADASS. It rides a motorcycle and rolls its cigarettes up in its
sleeve and everything - and watch what you say about it if it's in
earshot because I'm pretty sure it carries a switchblade. The pretty
girls seem to swoon over it, however.

My opinion is that it is *highly* relevant. And my opinion is right,
and nobody can take that away from me.

Unlike one's innocence. I lost that in a Sarajevo brothel back in '93,
but that's a whole other story.

I'm sure it wouldn't stop you if someone said 'no.'

See, there you go with the assumptions again, Pete. How are we ever
going to get along in this atmosphere of distrust and suspicion? It's
simply not healthy for either us or our relationship.

All that I want is for things to be like they used to be between us -
holding hands and watching the sunset from the beach, or laughing as we
stroll arm-in-arm through the Arboretum in the springtime. The old
magic, Pete, is what I want back. Perhaps I'm just a foolish, dreaming
romantic for thinking this, but... Can't we just *try*?

P.S.: None of the above should be construed to mean that I will cease
groping you when we ride the bus together.
