You disapprove of listening to an iPod while walking down the street?

You disapprove of talking on the phone while walking down the street?

shit.

Gee, and I heard you say we were talking about understanding the history
of computing.

Are you saying that we were NOT discussing your understanding of the
history of computing?

yeah, guess that makes sense... if your computer doesn't work with
modern software like Phlink.

yeah, but I don't like to pay for something that is already free, i
guess we differ on that. I like to use modern technology to free me from
old fashioned expenses... you like to pay, and pay, and pay, without
questioning "why".

Let's see....you claim that until/unless I post what you want, I am by
definition lying.

On the other hand, you and YOUR claim that I have NEVER used a hockey
puck mouse is, by definition, the absolute truth.

Hmmmmmm.

Not really, i can using coconut wifi to find an open wifi point anywhere
I'm at, so if you know how to use tools you are online within minutes.

http://www.coconut-flavour.com/coconutwifi/index.html

I've never said "wifi" is everywhere... yet, but it will be, it's only a
matter of time.

But for me in a modern city, wifi is available 90% of the time during my
life, that's enough, 10% is for resting.

What a major gaff that is for your company. Never design a site in all
Flash unless you want no search engines to find you.

I have.

Until you post a FACT, you're lying. So far, you haven't posted any
facts.

the same as you apparently... MT-NewsWatcher/3.5.2

nobody with any knowledge of USENET would be using Microsoft Outlook is
all I'm saying.

and sure, you don't fall under that category, but you still haven't said
a single thing about your knowledge of "the industry".

so you fall under the category of lair, for no good reason.
