Very funny GM. The list seems to be missing the latest trend in messageboard posting where someone will try and hijack the thread by saying something like OSX does a better job of lightbulb changing then Windows does and thus turn the thread into a Microsoft/Bill Gates bashing thread.

They also forgot about the viri lurking in lightbulbs... not to mention the spyware. That, of course, leads into all the discussions about scanners and protection and firewalls....Reply #12 Tuesday, October 14, 2003 4:08 PM
