I haven't ever posted there! -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me. E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM filter.

I just assumed it was you, posting to a Mac site with a handle of JollyRogers.

No. Please, don't compare BMW and Apple! BMW wouldn't buy from the likes of Lucky Goldstar. They don't manufacture in cheap Chinese sweatshops. I could tomorrow buy all the line of crappy computers Apple sells at twice the price to Mac Morons and it wouldn't dent my budget. My problem is I can't afford to buy cheap: it means problems that I'd rather not deal with. As for the supposed trolls that infect this group, please note that Mac users' posts patting each others' back every time they're facing reality are at least ten times as numerous as the so-called trolls' posts.
