Say, how's things over there in appleland?  Has OSX mutated into
something horrible and unique in and of itself or is it still more or
less BSD compatible?

Stop over-reacting.

Look, there are people whose viewpoints are different than yours.
Maybe that's something you should learn to come to terms with, instead
of over-reacting all the time.

I for one would absolutely dislike having to use a multi-touch iMac,
but not as long as everything I have to do could be done with the
keyboard and the trackpad.

Now that's genuine gibberish, and so rare today on the Internet.  Does
your English module have a 'coherent' setting or are you just
malfunctioning?

The trouble is not my English, you moron, but the lack of intelligence
that befits a right-wing ratbag like you.

First, gibberish, you clod, is not rare on the internet.

Second, look at your phrase "more importantly" and in parsing my
remark, associate it with "priorities"... mind now that your pea size
brain does not explode doing this.

Ah what's the use of talking to someone who obviously gives even
blithering idiots a bad name.

We're all trolls in the end.

In Unforgiven, in a powerful, dark scene, after the contract killings
are done, Will Munny (Clint Eastwood) and the Schofield Kid are
waiting by a tree on a hill for their money to arrive. The Kid has
lost all his bravado and is depressed about what he has done,
confesses it was his first and vows never to do it again. In his
tearful speech, he raves and mentions how his victim had it coming for
what he had done (slashed a prostitute's face because she had giggled
at the size of his organ).

Munny, with a far away look replied, "We've all got it coming, kid"

For most of the things I do, keyboard and mouse are more effective.
But it would be nice to touch up a photo on screen with finger or
stylus, or resize it with a pinch.

And I definitely much prefer writing Chinese on screen.

I don't know about touching up a photo with the Magic Trackpad but I
understand that it can resize and rotate it with an appropriate finger
gesture. As for writing Chinese I am totally at a loss!

Are you saying I should impute some special quality to the
juxtaposition of your "priorities"?  

Don't you have anything better to do?

Oh, it's not Priam. And about the only reason I'd take dora out of the
