Peacefully at comfort with the iRegime, I do appreciate that is still, at bottom, a box with wires and a capitalist motive. Some are just better than others. That is undeniable. My windows friends cannot understand why I'm happy to have recently graduated to a seven year old dual-G4, virtually a technological antique. Why? Because it works with all the modern capacity. Try that with a Windows machine.
