I must admit being the proud new (3 weeks) owner of a brand new, beautiful MacBook I cannot argue with this. I still have the good old full sized PC but I am now only using it to run all manner of systems in the house and for large downloading tasks, or operating routers. Also I don't have all the software I want on the MacBook yet. However... i find i spend more & more time on the Mac it's so easy, so fast, and soo damn cool.. my cousin & i got one each as she's a student so we got a good discount and when I saw it being demoed in the store, i just HAD to have one and boy am I happy.
Never will i get Vista, XP is where it ends with me with a PC and Windoze. When I do find all the software (or afford it as to replace my PC versions of Photoshop, Ilustrator, Acrobat etc. will not be cheap) and get the next full sized system I will be getting a Mac. Now I know now why the designers at work rave about them, they are a dream, they run like a dream and they are so much fun to use and just the novelty of being able to actually get your work done without fixing endless crap is cool.
I am lucky though I have a good friend who is a Mac engineer and yes he's been in my face for years to give up the PC. Now I understand :-)

FIB - Scams 101 is maintained by Lesley Fountain with WebBBS 5.12.
| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
