Mikey. In the world of businesses, there will always be people copying each others ideas and stealing them.

Also, Microsoft will creat something more powerful than the twin G4's pretty soon.

Microsoft designing processors now? What is the
world coming to.... I still want a 128-processor SGI
Origin. That'd kick the pants off anything offered
by Intel, AMD or Motorola (the makers of the
processors being debated).

Matt who really appreciates using Unix like systems :)

Ok, guys...

As long as the world is still turning, there will always be a preference in computers....as well as cars, as well as long distance, as well as politicians, as well as....well, you get the idea.

And as long as the world is turning, people are going to choose a side and argue their point, and most likely aren't going to change their point. Take solace in the fact that also as long as the world is turning, there will always be two sides.

hey James, I don't think your parents called you Mike when you were a kid. Or did they?? I doubt they did. Mike was called Mike FIRST since he was a baby and did you??

You people are so silly. Who cares who was named first? It's out of your control. Besides, who's named Mike first has no relevence in the argument. Now Jeff's last name is Wong, and that's chinese so it's funny, but you too are just a bunch of drunk irishmen who have gotten totally off point with your mindless jibberjabber. In a nutshell, Mike is right, Mike is wrong and Jeff is Wong.

P.S. I'm not racist (except against polish people). Jeff is probably giggling in chinese right now over this.
