I am under the same impression. Someone writing some pointless
article about something he never experienced. The older I get the
less I try to judge what others do (unless it concerns me of course
;)) on this small area of personal tech, since it is *them* ruining
their lives, not me. Then again I think having a person that
shamelessly admits ownership of a Dell Jukebox writing about anything
Apple is like... is like... I struggle to find a simile inoffensive
to the impaired. It is pointless anyway, since I will always be among
the minority caring about certain things others do not even
recognize. Is that a curse? I am not so sure.
