> Seeing how Zune has 11%%, and rising, of the market

Edwin claims that Zune has 11%% of the market, which
incidentally is the hard drive based market, not including
flash players.... Or mp3-playing cell phones.

When Apple can touch a deal this good!!!

http://www.tigerdirect.com/email/wem1623.asp?CMP=ILC-FPM-EMAIL

all of that and you are not stradled with the non-compliant OS X.
Most stuff just doesn't work with a Mac. Since Apple's market share is
so low and pathetic. A lot of hardware and software developers ignore
the platform entirely.

  So, why are Mac Haters posting?         


Author: TBerk

Why the hate at all?

It seems like a Holy War, one of less rationality and one of more
emotional content .

'Death to the Infidels!' 'Death to the Unbelievers!'

Maybe if they made better products, they would catch on and people
would actually buy them!?!?

  Royal Order of Assholes

With Edwins latest trick of calling everyone "asshat", it reminded me
of the ROA, a badge that Thingfishhhh designed that could be
downloaded by the ones that Edwin had called an asshole, the list was
quite long, I remember.

Is there anyone that has a copy of the badge? I don't, anymore. It
would be cool to have a copy of it. :)

People I know "earned" the badge was Jim Polaski, Alan Baker, Robert
Fovell, Steve Carroll and Joe Ragosta. Maybe ZnU as well. But the list
was very long :) Those were the old days, indeed! :)

Did you save one, Edwin? :)
