Disposable? The battery is apparently not user-replaceable,
nor is RAM, nor is the hard drive. It's one thing to sell a

In 2004 you girlfriend decided you were "disposable" and you blamed me. To

MacBook Air, disposable?
I know... I was shocked , too... but that is what you said, Mr. "IT
teacher". Take a look:
"Apple is pushing how green this is - but it [Macbook Air] is
clearly disposable... when the battery dies you can pretty much
just throw it away". - Snit
But then... what would one expect from a guy who couldn't flash his
router and charged "emergency" rates to remove a floppy from a
client's drive (and then gloat about it on usenet).

Yes, you really did write that about the MacBook Air, Mr. "IT

Why are you quoting other "somewhat" idiotic comments that "somewhat"
jibed with your own idiocy on the MacBook Air? Do you REALLY think it
makes you appear "somewhat" less idiotic? He said "somewhat"
disposable... you said: "clearly disposable". (your poor reading
comprehension reared its ugly head AGAIN;)
Yes, Snit... between those two statements, as expected, you look like
the bigger idiot. LOL!

Who was dumb enough to pay Snit for that? It had to be a made up

Ah, but as if to prove that is the only quote Steve can find from me, he
just makes up stories like the two above. Sure, he based his fiction on
facts that are vaguely related to his claims, but his claims are his own
invention. He lied.

Reality and the google archive have shown, many, many times, that many
people (myself included) have pointing out numerous idiotic statements
you've made. As far as belittling... you do that to yourself on a
daily basis.

Nope. He lied about his stories: unable to flash a router? What? Where
the heck did he even come up with that one? He just flat out made it up.
And gloating about charging a customer for services? Again... what? He
just makes things up. Like you! Hey, no wonder you two like to cuddle so
much.
> Why would he do that?
Steve Carroll has been lying about me since 2004. You claim to not believe
the most likely reason... so ask Steve why he is unable to be honest. I bet
he has no better answer. Nor do you. I will say his being dumped is not
the only reason, he also flipped out when I said and supported derogatory
comments about Bush... and he was completely unable to offer a reasoned
refutation. Heck, even recently he has repeated his oft-used argument from
ignorance where he claims that since I acknowledged that real-world event
cannot be proved to the level of a "proof" that, to him, this is somehow a
*disproof* that real world events happen! Oh, ask him for his "refutation"
- he will repeat it. It is a compulsion for him.
> At least you confirmed that nobody would be dumb enough to hire you to solve

See how you and Carroll just make up stories about others when you know you
are wrong. Almost cute!

Do you now deny you claimed folks in COLA could not install Linux? What?
Please make up your mind.
Your only "out" is to spew insults and insist that people who are known to
be technically competent are not. Then you get to make personal attacks and
insist people defend themselves from your lies. *Boring*! Really: you are
very, very boring. My gift of so much attention for you is likely to come
to an end soon if you do not become more entertaining with your BS.

No lie by me as proven by the thread entitled "More XP woes..." a
bogus thread that Snit created as he falsely blamed XP for a problem
that had nothing to do with XP (it had to do with certain machines).
Funny as it was, the business about charging emergency rates for
removing a floppy drive wasn't the best part of the thread. Here is,
IMO, one of the more bizarre (and funny) posts in that thread written
by Snit as he talks about having gone to his customers place to remove
the floppy from a drive (this was the "problem" that needed to be
"solved" in the quoted below) :
--
"Who said it was MS's fault?
Amazing how ignorant the Windows / PC apologists are...
The problem lead to a user of XP spending weekend + emergency rates to
get a
problem solved. The problem would not have existed on a Mac.
Period. Yet look at all the Windows apologists running from the
facts.
Hillarious! "
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.mac.advocacy/msg/03b544626c5cc02d?hl=en&dmode=source
--
Notice how Snit is asking: "Who said it was MS's fault?" Apparently he
was so high he forget that he created a thread entitled "More XP
woes...". And notice how Snit claims it is *others* who are "running
from the facts". Truly bizarre! LOL!
Another poster (Sandman) commented the following reality to Snit about
this same lie that Snit had told more than once:
"When first pressed for this, you claimed that you hadn't mentioned
XP"
Snit responded by, you guessed it... telling yet *another* lie and
projecting (by falsely claiming Sandman was the one doing the lying):
"Nope... I never claimed I had not *mentioned* XP. You are lying."
Sandman then provided the proof it was Snit who was doing the lying:
[begin quoted material by Sandman]
"It is not XP specific... and if you read what I wrote,
I never suggested it was."
Reading what you wrote, you clearly sugggested it was XP specific with
the
tread title.
You're welcome.
[end quoted material by Sandman]
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.mac.advocacy/msg/b3277fdaad6850b3?hl=en&dmode=source
More by Snit in this thread:
"For the user, it was a problem.
For me, it was some extra cash. :) "
To top it off Snit even tried to drag another poster into assisting
him with his BS with *another* lie:
"At some point Steve Mackay jumped in and verified that on modern XP
machines the exact thing happens that I commented on. "
To which Mackay responded with:
"Bzzzt, wrong answer Snit. I verified that the Dell, which is *NOT*
runing XP does this. Don't get me in on your bullshit."
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.mac.advocacy/msg/c4c15d01d402c07b?hl=en&dmode=source
So, as you can see, not only did Snit do what I said, he started a
bogus thread about XP, accused another of lying when it was proven
that he was the one doing the lying and he tried to drag another
poster in to assist him with his BS who also called him on yet another
lie. In other words... an extremely typical showing by Snit... the guy
who claims to be "honest and honorable" and keeps whining about how no
one ever shows his dishonesty.

Translation: Even though people like Steve Carroll are in this thread
directly quoting lies that Snit has told and providing the links so
anyone reading can verify Snit unquestionably lied and acted in a
disingenuous manner... Snit will *still* deny reality and pretend
these bona fide facts are 'made up stories'. In other words, Snit
believes people are so stupid they will take his word over the

You have *no* references for your stories about me. You simply make them up
as you beg for my attention. You repeatedly make accusations and spew
stories you cannot support. In the end, you cannot answer the most simple
of questions about your BS stories:
1) Why do you think it is surprising to *anyone* that a nine-year
old girl (who you bizarrely and offensively consider to be below
you on the evolutionary ladder) would not be able to use Linux,
especially with the help you keep dishonestly denying was available?
2) Why do you think Linux is so hard to install that several people
in COLA would not be able to do so (a claim you go back and forth
in making and then denying you made!)?
3) It is clear you do not get the well established benefits of a
consistent UI; but why are you against desktop Linux offer the
the choice of such a UI to people who do value higher quality?
Sigh: 100% predictable, you will not answer *any* question I just asked.
You will run... your whole goal is to beg for attention, not to make or
support a point.
