Yeah, my bad. Moore makes the point that there are about 7 million guns in 10 million homes, which is really just to debunk the idea that you need strict bans on firearms in order to decrease gun violence.

I'll post some answers to the rest in a bit. Right now, I've got to go take a shower with the door open (so I can hear the Apple deliveryman when he comes).

Are you talking about the Apple or the deliveryman?

::groan::

The product. Is Kynes awaiting a shipment of apples (food) or a product from Apple Computer?

If the latter, more evidence for Kynes == Boyd (Jon was a rather avid Mac fanatic.)

No, I have to confess: I bought an iPod and a PowerBook. Broke down, I did. I'd like to say the stability of MacOS X and its 21-gun salute to its UNIX heritage did me in, but the truth is, it's shiny.

PowerBooks are nice, but competition from the Centrino platform is eating into market share ... this hijack probably should also be split...

I split Kynes' confession to switching to Mac OS X, and now I'm moving it to G&C.

You screwed up by not including my post:

Which makes me wonder - is this some giant twisted game that he's playing on us for his Ph.D in psychology?

That's Phong's post.

We've seen pictures of both of them, but a massive conspiracy theory isn't completely out of the question.

I'd like to reiterate what I said earlier to you on AIM, Kynes: I now hate you.

Your hatred will only make him wronger.

You want to know hatred? Someone on this board who just joined up just bought a dual 2GHz G5 box from the Caltech store
