It might nag you but I like it, use it and still get a chuckle each time.
It feels... delinquant, kind of giving back on all the frustrations aPple gets me.

It's not you. aPple is the one that bugs me. You only satirize, which is funny.

No no ! I didn't express myself correctly I knew how you felf about aPple, and I love your find. The first time I really noticed how you always wrote mAc names, two plus two added up in my head and it fell off laughing.

I'm a very long time aPple user since the Mac 128k in 84. The first time I saw the word iMac, I couldn't believe how corny it felt and every time an other one came up I went " Oh brother!" It's about time they matured out of bad taste.

Apple will not be announcing an eBook reader in February. They will not be announcing one the first week in March. And I think it's safe to say the second week in March is right out too.

(I know I don't have to tell you, Harry, but for all others, that's just a joke, okay? I no more consider Harry an iDiot than I do Mel Gibson a productive use of oxygen.)

It stands for the most popular word in the English language, and it stands alone.

Hmm, there's almost a metaphor in that last, hey?

Cheers,
Marc (who has no idea what the "i" actually stands for, but suspects he's on the money)

The first appearance of the dreadded "i" was on the iMac, because it was meant as the first internet centered computer. "i" as internet. After that things really degenerated.
