So, it looks like I am in the minority on this one. Thanks for the all the insults...I didn't realize that differences of opinion were not tolerated here.

People are passionate here and have strong opinions. Newcomers sometimes take offense to the way many Mac people express themselves and take everything so seriously. Mac users usually do everything with a ;) and a :D. So if you get :( or :mad:, just remember that underneath Mac users are quite :cool:, but can get :eek: over things, and usually express things with a ;), and you just have to go with it and do :p .

Nicely put!

Also, I don't think anyone here can rightly say we didn't insult them. Only they know if they were insulted.

Mavherzog: Stay and play! Things like this happen to people every once in a while. When I was new I felt probably the way you do. I just went along with it and I understand how things work here. Hope to see you around! :)

No one insulted you. You just got lit up because your first post was very strongly worded and had negative connotations so you received a strong response.
Fair enough. :)

I am currently in southern Iraq and will be here probably till sometime in 2008. My MacBook (trusty 1st gen CD) is serving me quite well (even with the low res). :) (and yes, believe it or not, it was over HERE that I got to see a 24" iMac firsthand)
