Geez Bates, its a joke. Cmon man. Really.

First of all, Crapple hasn’t ushered in anything new or innovative unless you can count proprietary, toy computers for smug losers or dopey MP3 players for music pirates. I wish these idiots would stop trying to re-write history. Truth is we should all be thankful for the revolutionary and remarkable technology advances from Microsoft. Anybody who uses a real computer knows that.
Your potential. Our passion.™
