From Scott Kurtz's Web Site, www.pvponline.com:

About a year ago, I asked the PvP Mac Zealots to put their money where their mouth was. Rather than send me an email pontificating about what a luddite I was for still using a PC, instead send me a dollar. ... I stopped taking donations at around $1200. ... Today, I recieved in the mail:

- 1 Mac Mini (1.25 GHZ Power PC G4, 1 Gig memory, Bluetooth, Airport Extreme, Superdrive)
- 1 USB port switchbox
- 1 iSight Camera
You've got to be kidding me. Is this all it takes to get a free Mac?

Well, I'm a PC user, and I think Macs are too expensive and not compatible with enough necessary software. To prove me wrong, please wire me money so that I can buy a Mac Mini. I will continue to use a PC, in defiance of the clear superiority of Tiger, until I collect enough donations to switch to a Mac. I'll get a Mac, and you'll get the pleasure of me personally admitting that I was wrong and that all goodness indeed flows from the hand and mind of Steve Jobs!

I also hate Ferraris. They totally suck compared to Toyotas. You probably should start sending me $1 each to prove me wrong. Oh yeah, and iPods are for losers -- you'd better send me one of those, too. And a Tablet PC. Total suckitude.

"Review" mirror? Huh? WTF...I mean...huh? You mean like the "review" mirror on your car?

I mean, seriously, is that what they're called now or are you in contention for the Malopropism of the Year award?
