[FONT=Courier New]Here's to the boring ones.
The bland.
The tedious.
The vapid.
The square pegs in the square holes.
The ones who can't see further than the ends of their noses.

They're fond of rules.
And they worship Status Quo.
You can yawn at them, agree with them, forget them,
go along with them or be forced to accept them.
About the only thing you can't do is have an alternative.

Because they keep things the same.
They stagnate. They hold back. They fester.
They decline. They expire.
They hold the human race back.

Maybe they have to be boring.
How else can you stare at Vin Diesel and see art
Or listen to Britney Spears and hear beautiful music?
Or gaze at another country and want to conquer it?

We make tools for these kinds of people.
While some see them as the boring ones, we see them as a ticket to a fat back hander.

Because the people who are boring enough to the think they can
hold the world back, are the ones who inherit the earth.

Apple. Think uniformity.

Decay is inherent in all component things, work out your salvation with diligence. Siddhartha Gautama Buddha [/FONT]

Old for sure but made me laugh

Timeline me if ya want but this is for those who missed it!

cheers

I can't wait until MacTels come out; it'll be my first Mac purchase since college.

I think since the future of computers lies heavily in laptops and Freescale has no where near the cash to compete with Intel, and IBM doesn't wanna on that front this is a good choice. This is all about the PowerBooks. And I don't know that the PowerMacs and Xserve will move to x86 until they genuinely out pace the G5.
