I’m going to go play WoW until the urge subsides.

Those bland denials “No, Apple Care doesn’t cover DAMAGE” Blaming me when the product was a lemon. But I always come back. Hopelessly attached to my Mac stuff. Periodically try to break away, settle down with a nice, sensible, frugal Windows PC or laptop. Only to have that blue screen of death or a kiddie imported virus (to the teen boy “WHAT have you been downloading???” like I have to ask) or a general crash or losing all my data or just such a PITA to try and work on pictures with..and back I run to that narcissistic, coldhearted vain SOB Appelmeister who long ago captured me, heart and wallet.

But I am holding out. I will NOT< NOT NOT get an Ipad….At least until our current cellphone with internet on tiny screens runs out in July. I am trying to rationalize a switch to voice and text only for the spouse, me and snivelling brats and an Ipad for greedy me…

Umm, no. More like: Apple:Microsoft as Stalin:Hitler. Sometimes, they work together, sometimes it is open war. In any case, your data isn’t safe.

Heaven forbid that someone face– gasp!– an internet reply objecting to their comparison between men who caused the deaths of thousands and computer companies. Whoo, I’m so intimidating! Look out or I’l start quoting Monty Python!
