This is a discussion about "PC Space: The Final Frontier."

Or, how PCs are HIGHLY INFERIOR to Macs, period, with a Star Trek twist.

So, if you watched the original Star Trek series and can remember some of the more memorable quotes uttered by Captain James T. Kirk, Spock, Scotty, and "Bones," the good old doctor, maybe you can put a Star Trek twist on why it is that PCs simply suck.

I have spent two months on the spouse's Sony Vaio 2.8Ghz desktop and I stuck it out -- mostly on a dare from the spouse.

It is THE WORST two months of computing hell I have ever experienced. Just got a new Powerbook and I'm back from the brink of hell -- but it was a horrible, horrible experience.

So, maybe you can add your witty Star Trek twist to PC, Windows, and Microsoft bashing -- and we can see how amusing you can be.

"Stoned?"

No.

Eccentric at times, yes.

I don't do drugs, don't drink, and I eat fat and sugar in moderation.

My "vice" is coffee.

And Tribbles.

Mean people suck -- remember that next time something bad happens to you.

Bashing other platforms constantly and for no good reason is being mean too. Just remember that when someone calls you a loser again.

That lets Windows off the hook then, seeing as there's several good reasons to bash it.
