Re: [Micronet] idea for a new flame war

Oh, you're one of *those people*, eh?

I normally avoid watching TV (although I _do_ own one), but you'd be
surprised at the number and variety of muscle groups you exercise--and
sometimes strain--during a major reorg, like the one we're doing here in
IST. The result is that I come home sore and exhausted, and that makes
it a bit more difficult to do my usual TV-avoiding physical activity
after work, namely, getting liquored-up at the local saloon. Hence, I
have been watching a bit more TV lately. However, those Mac ads have
done wonders--no matter how tired I am, as soon as one comes on, I hit
the remote, leap off the couch, and hobble down to the local saloon. I
do owe Apple some thanks for helping to restore my constitution...
