Maybe I'm his brother?

I doubt Jeb would have "twilly spree" as his handle. It would probably be something much more like "boring_oaf" or "mum's_favourite"

GWB: I guess I'm not supposed to be talking about brands, but since Michael Dell is my good friend and Dell is a Texas company, I'm the owner of a Dell computer.

*snip pic*

The Mac on the photo you posted? Not his. It belonged to one of his campaign staffers, and he was merely posing with it for the photo.
And you know this how? He may currently use a Dell, but that does not mean he always used a Dell. It's just more politically popular for him now.

Especially when said Dell computer was most likely free.

for those still wondering:
Engadget:

We already knew that President Bush had an iPod, but c�mon, weren�t you just a little curious to know what he had on there? Laura Bush admitted that she never touches the stuff, but W. said in an interview with the AP that he rocks out to Creedence Clearwater Revival (whether he has �Fortunate Son� on there or not isn�t specified), George Jones, Kenny Chesney, Alan Jackson, Aaron Neville, and Van Morrison on his iPod. Which sounds, ehhh, about right to us.
