I was just
surfing today and read that part and I finally understand what you're

now.
You read when you're surfing? Doesn't the book get wet?
(just in case you meant that "other" abomination of a definition for
"surfing", there is nothing you could ever do on a computer that even comes
close to equaling the worst day of surfing; whoever coined that term for
using the internet obviously never got anywhere near a real surfboard, and
would probably get fed to the sharks if we could ever find him)
That Mac commercial is right. Ask not what Vista can do for you. Ask
what
you can buy for Vista.
That said though, it's still infinitely cheaper to build your own computer
using Vista and the top of the line computer parts than to buy a Mac.
Mac users are all intelligent and cool, twenty-something and laid back and
have everything handled with ease; PC users are fat and stupid with
horn-rimmed glasses and spend all their time trying to get their computers
to work, when they're not out buying things to make it work, wearing
propeller beanies. Steve Jobs wants you to believe that, and until you do,
you can't be a true follower, no matter how much it costs. BTW, there's a
new Mac laptop out for only 2.5x the price of a similar PC, and it is really
advanced...one USB port, no optical drive, no ethernet; Jobs has decreed
that true cool, laid-back believers don't need that stuff. Who wants to bet
that the believers line up days ahead of time for the privilege of buying
however many they're allowed to?
I wonder if you can downgrade from jaguar to leopard, or whatever they are;
probably moot, no one would ever question the almighty's wisdom in providing
the new one, or they might be given a propeller beanie and horn-rimmed
glasses.
