There are thousands of non-trolls, many of them Mac users, in Oklahoma.
Why do you want to insult them?

Oh yeah, absolutely! Apple gives its stuff, it's a given!

For a while it was mainly an oil field, but I'm not sure how active the
pumps are these days.

Yes, "Tim Okergit" is Priam's nym-of-the-month. He refrained from Apple-bashing
for a little while under his latest nym, but my filter wasn't fooled, and sure
enough, he's shown his true Jobs-hating, Linux-fanatic colors.

(My filter paints Priam's posts a bright flaming-idiot red. I haven't felt the
need to kill-file him completely because he's such an utter failure as a troll.)
