First shoving X-Box to the Japanese thru exclusives, an official OS Tan for Windows 7 and now this, good luck Billy Gates. Rolling Eyes

In my days a search engine just shoved down our throats anything they could find with the terms of the search alongside the scorn machines have for flesh creatures,,. no matter what little relevance it had with our actual search... and we liked it!!!!!!! Twisted Evil

3% of the world uses mac. 80-90% of which are based in the US. 10% of the world uses some form of Linux....that's saying something. Mac users should get with the program! Very Happy
