Reminds me of that old Cheech and Chong movie where they are smuggling
dope into the USA by forming the compressed pot into the material the
auto body is made out of ... maybe dave is indicating you break off
parts of a MAC and smoke it?

I don't know, I'll wait until others have tried it and see if it looks
like something I would like to do, or not ...

Actually, they sell reliability and ease-of-use. Macs tend to "just
work" in most cases, including many cases where Linux or Windoze
require endless geekery to get something to work.

Reliability and ease-of-use come at a price. As someone who's an ex
systems support person and completely sick of systems geekery, that
price is worth it to me. If the price isn't worth it to you, don't buy
Apple products. Simple.

FYI I owe my life to an old Apple ][+ because I learned machine language
programming on one of those and then through a series of events ended up
being a full time programmer for IBM personal computers that got to travel
all over the place like from Boston, MA to Orlando, FL via New York City
were I went to the top of the South Tower. And I went to places like San
Francisco, Los Angeles, Catalina Island, Amarillo, TX even up to Vancouver
Canada and a lot of other places in the mid states.

Two of the things I did on the Apple ][e computers while I was still in
school were to rewrite the OS so it could load the first two programs on a
disk without loading the entire OS depending on what number I pressed while
booting and I changed my OS so I no longer had to spell out the entire word
CATALOG. All I had to do was spell cat or catwhatever (meaning as long at
the word "cat" was spelled in upper or lower case it didn't matter what
letters were behind it).

Yep, I owe my life to Steve Jobs even though I never bought an iPhone, iPad
or iPod but I might buy an iPhone if Sprint will let me keep my current plan
with unlimited phone as modem.

BDK- Top of the government shill heap for over 10 years running!

When my eight years older brother was an MP at Fort Gordon,Georgia back
in the 1950s, a guy was driving a Jeep.That guy had forgot to first
check the oil level.He burnt the Jeep engine up.My brother and another
guy, they went out there with some old used motor oil.They drained the
new oil from the Jeep, then they refilled the Jeep engine with the old
used motor oil.When they got back to Motor Pool, the boss said, I can't
understand why that engine burned up.

What kind of motor oil are you using Earl?
